Re: Young Adult Literature, I still don't get it (a rant)

Yes, so it's about the reading level. I get that. I understand. I mean, it was the Harry Potter books that made me learn English.

But-but-but why then are the YA books specifically about teenage issues? Why aren't they just books about anything just on a simpler reading level? That's my issue with YA.

To get them interested and/or give them something to connect to. Little kids' books have children as protagonists, right? And they're about learning how to share or dealing with the first day of kindergarten, yeah? Age-appropriate issues. A middle/high school kid who doesn't like to read sure as hell isn't going to want to read about boring adult things. She's gonna want to read about someone her age dealing with similar issues to her own. In the end it's just a label that says "This book is for you! You can relate to this story!"
