I think the distinction between children's books and adult books is nonsense. To me, fiction should be thought of as good or not so good or just plain bad but authors should be thought of as authors and artists and not graded as if they were in school. Anything else is just lazy. |

I think many publishers use YA designate books without gratuitous sex and violent and with younger characters. My thirteen year old turned us on to the Hunger Games last year. She read them, then my wife, then I, and then my sixteen year old. I've enjoyed the Artemus Fowl series and A Series of Unfortunate Events, because I bought them for the girls and ended up reading them myself.
