What defines a young adult novel?
)
October 14th, 2010
As of late, I have been reading a number of novels classified as young adult and I have been writing my own novel. Recently, I have read a book called Unwind in which teenagers may be “retroactively aborted” between the ages of 13 and 18. The book is classified as young adult even though it deals with some very heady and adult themes.
Since I have been writing my own novel, I have been wondering what would qualify it to be a young adult novel. It deals with some complex themes and has/will have some scenes that may or may not be appropriate for younger readers. However, I think that can be said of the above book which is downright horrifying.
So, collective, can you help me define what makes a novel qualify as a young adult novel?
