This was a pretty good young adult book from the 1970s. I watched the movie which was also written by the author but the book is definitely the way to go. You get more involved with the characters. The book is about a teenaged junkie named Benjie. The book separates itself by letting all of the characters say their own perspective on the situation. You hear from the stepfather, the teachers at the school, his friends, and Benjie himself. The book may be on a depressing situation but it's actually a quick read and the characters for the most part are likable.
