It was so much fun for me to translate Mr B's name. :<)<BR/><BR/>Les, this is juvenile (9-12 year olds) rather than young adult, though the book itself is not labeled. The whole labeling thing is so interesting. The concern is that if a book is labeled for 9-12 year olds, a 'cool' 13 or 14 year old might not touch it. But yet, if a book isn't categorized, a young child might pick up a ya that is too much for him to handle. I saw in one place it was described as for grades 5-9, which includes the lower end of ya or teen books. It's a very complicated subject. Sometimes now I see an adult 'mystery' which is labeled 'a novel of suspense.'Nanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15547916206007733970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6049626897935912366.post-63685351401786603442009-03-10T07:10:00.000-04:002009-03-10T07:10:00.000-04:00One of my goals this year is to read more young ad...One of my goals this year is to read more young adult/teen fiction.
