Ryan (ryancan564) | 146 comments I would like to know some books & stories where the main focus is on the relationship dynamics between an Uncle and his nephew(s) i.e. looking up to them, being parental substitutes, or just hanging out together. Most of the book lists I searched up are in the romance genre & hey also tend to lean more to Uncles & nieces, I would prefer if it can lean towards nephews.

It doesn't matter either if the nephew is an orphan or if his parents are still alive in the story.

Romance is fine, but should be secondary. I would prefer contemporary/realistic style but any genre & type (children's, YA or adult, picture books) is all right with me as long as the bond between them is the main point. Nonfiction is also all right. Thank you.
