The Paul Street Boys is a 1906 youth novel by Hungarian writer Ferenc Molnár. Set among schoolboys in Budapest's Jozsefvaros neighborhood in 1889, it follows two rival gangs contesting an empty lot the boys call the grund, led on one side by the honorable Boka and defended by the group's smallest member, Nemecsek. The boys organize themselves along military lines to repel the rival gang's takeover attempt, ultimately succeeding but at the cost of Nemecsek's life, who dies of pneumonia contracted during the conflict.
