It's also not really the case - books aimed at that age bracket are called "middle grade", not YA. They're the approximate equivalent of the old juvenile fiction books.
Older middle grade novels would be books like the Famous Five or Heinlein juveniles; more modern middle grades include books like the Percy Jackson series, Griffiths' Treehouse books, Rangers Apprentice, A Series of Unfortunate Events, The 39 Clues.
