The thing is, it's often the publishers, rather than the author, who determine which books get marketed as "YA," often on the basis of genre or plot elements rather than anything to do with the reading level or anything that would logically class them as YA.

This. I mean, technically Persepolis counts as YA, and yet there's very adult themes as well, and it was assigned in my senior-level literature course.

+1

Also, YA's considered "hot" right now, so some older books that were originally written for and marketed to an adult audience are now being labeled YA and marketed to teens. I've seen this particularly with fantasy novels, but it may be happening in other genres, as well.
