[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To Kill A Mockinbird, Tolkien, the Diary of Anne Frank, and Lord of the Flies are YA books? How are you defining YA? "Books that teenagers may enjoy reading"?[/quote] My son read the Tolkein books, on his own w/o my prodding before the 7th grade and during middle school he has read Lord of the Flies and To Kill a Mockingbird. He would have read the Diary of Anne Frank in 7th grade when they touched on WWII in school but he was too busy reading other WWII related books. That doesn't mean that kids can't read those books in later grades or other books entirely, it just means that my kid read those particular books before/during middle school.[/quote] Yes. Teenagers can read these books. That doesn't make them YA books.[/quote]
