Sometimes. And given the various opinions in this thread, that still doesn't add any clarification whatsoever. Is it YA because the protags are young(ish), or is it YA because it's written for young readers? If it's latter, then is it targeted at children, adolescents or older teenagers? If it's the former and not the latter, then why distinguish at all? The YA label only seems to add more questions for me when vetting potential purchases.
