Sure. 'The Catcher in the Rye' can be considered one. Holden Caulfield is on a sort of hero's journey as he tries to find himself in the adult world that he both fears and rebels against. It shows his real - life struggles and his attempt to make sense of things. 'A Tree Grows in Brooklyn' is also a good choice. Francie Nolan's journey through poverty and her pursuit of education and a better life is a story of perseverance. It's set in a realistic New York City environment and shows her growth as a character.
There's 'Holes' by Louis Sachar. Stanley Yelnats is sent to a juvenile detention camp where he has to dig holes every day. His journey involves uncovering secrets about the camp and his family's past. It's a great example of a hero's journey in a realistic yet somewhat extraordinary setting. Also, 'The Giver' by Lois Lowry. Jonas' journey as he discovers the true nature of his society and his role in it is very much like a hero's journey. He has to face many challenges and make difficult decisions to change things.
One great hero's journey fiction book is 'The Hobbit' by J.R.R. Tolkien. The main character, Bilbo Baggins, is called to an adventure outside of his comfortable hobbit-hole. He faces many challenges, grows as a character, and returns home a changed hobbit.
Growth is a common theme. The hero usually starts off in a state of innocence or ignorance and through their experiences, they grow and change. For example, in 'The Outsiders', Ponyboy grows from a boy who is just part of a gang to someone who understands the futility of the gang violence. Another theme is self - discovery. In 'The Catcher in the Rye', Holden is on a journey to figure out who he really is in a world he doesn't quite understand. Also, facing challenges is a big theme. In 'Holes', Stanley has to face the harsh conditions of the detention camp and the mystery behind the holes.

One great book is 'Because of Winn - Dixie' by Kate DiCamillo. It tells the story of a girl who befriends a dog and through that friendship, she makes new friends in her new town. Another is 'Ramona Quimby, Age 8' by Beverly Cleary. Ramona is a relatable character who gets into all sorts of everyday childhood situations. Also, 'The One and Only Ivan' by Katherine Applegate is a wonderful choice. It's about a gorilla in a shopping mall circus and his dreams of a different life.
I would suggest 'Walk Two Moons' by Sharon Creech. It has a great narrative as the main character, Salamanca, goes on a journey to find her mother. It touches on family relationships, grief, and growing up. 'Stargirl' by Jerry Spinelli is also excellent. Stargirl is an unique character in a high school setting, and the book explores themes of non - conformity, acceptance, and first love in a way that is very real for young readers.
