No, I was thinking of these things in fiction and in real life.
Susan Cooper did another great book (_King of Shadows_) about being a lonely kid. I don't remember if he was alienated or grieving; must re-read it.
My reading of kids' books is a trifle random. When I was a teen, the Earthsea books were sf/f, not kids' books. Everything Earthsea is right next to L'Engle now.
I'll have to think about the first question further.
