Young adult fiction
Young adult or teen's story.
I don't recall the story having explicit or otherwise harmful material for kids.
Yeah.
I just don't know what justifies a story to be rather an young adult story, if it would (otherwise?) fit (better) in a child's story section 🤔
I mean - what makes The Hobbit an young adult story rather than a child's? Violence? Sexual material?
So they use...a non-logical marketing category?
Or there's something I don't understand 😅
Haha!
When I read it in my preteen youth in the early 80s it was in the "children's section" of our local library in podunk Georgia.
