I think it's a issue with terminology - I have a real "problem" with using this term "young adult" to refer to young teenagers; in my book (if you'll excuse the pun) they are not "adults", young or otherwise
. I personally refer to book aimed at that age group as "juvenile" books. Of course, I realise that my personal preferences aren't going to change the way that the book industry categorises its products
