Re: Is there any instance where YA fiction is better than critically acclaimed classics?

[cbrachyrhynchos]

Bad question because many critically acclaimed classics get onto the YA shelves by virtue of being taught in middle or high school.

But sure, *Charlie and the Chocolate Factory* is a great novel written for juvenile readers. *My Uncle Oswald* is just plain juvenile. I'd put Harry Potter over either Christopher Tolkien's attempts to polish works his father left unpublished for a reason, or Lewis's axe-grinding apologetic as science fiction. (The bar for religion in science fiction is set by *Canticle for Leibowitz* which gets shelved on YA by virtue of being on the HS curriculum.) As much as I love Le Guin, *Earthsea* improves as an allegory for Taoism on *Lathe of Heaven.*
