It even doesn't need to be what is widely regarded as great.
The 1st time I read Catriona (translated to PL) I was preteen aged.
The last time I did, (Gutenberg source) I was in my mid-20s

I was amazed about how much more the book offered to me.

I think this is true with a lot of material labeled as aiming younger readers.
Just because an author may write suitable for younger public - it doesn't mean s/he is of infantile personality.
