I loved this book by Australian writer, James Moloney:

Like a lot of what I read, it is ostensibly for 'young adult' readers but I found it very moving myself. The main character is Josh who is spending part of his holidays working in the Lost Property office at Sydney's Central Station. Turns out Josh has lost something himself although it takes him a little while to work out what he needs to do to recover his loss. Some great male characters including Clive, Josh's boss at the Lost Property office, and Josh's dad, a Rugby League 'legend'.

A bit about the real Central Station Lost Property office:OK, who left their bobcat on the train?
