Why wouldn't this just be a category? The list doesn't seem to offer anything additional. Fothergill Volkensniff IV (talk) 22:57, 24 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

A reasonable question. The list offers links to both book and film(s), and is easier to browse than a category. Her Pegship (tis herself) 00:15, 25 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

Harry Potter and Twilight edit

Harry Potter and Twilight aren't children's books. Especially not Twilight.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.73.22.34 (talk) 03:10, 27 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

Have you read either of them? Harry Potter started as one and Twilight is written for "humans" with a 4th grade reading level.--174.71.89.43 (talk) 06:08, 7 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

Harry Potter is definitely read by children. It's enjoyed by young adults and not-so-young adults as well, but that doesn't make it not a children's book. Sources: I am an elementary school teacher; I've seen third graders toting around even the fifth book. (A rather comical sight, as it's almost as big as they are.) Also, every library I've been in has at least the first three or four books in the series shelved in the children's section.

I raised my eyebrows at The Count of Monte Cristo, "The Three Musketeers," "Don Quixote" and (to a slightly lesser extent) the Dickens. While there are abridged versions for children out there, I can't picture a grade-schooler curling up with Cervantes' 1000-plus-page tome, delving into philosophical questions about the nature of madness and reality. 76.103.9.82 (talk) 05:24, 12 October 2013 (UTC)Reply

Spinoff "Young Adult" novel/film list edit

Latest comment: 7 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

The discussion above this one has me wondering if we should spin off all films based on "Young Adult" novels into a separate list?... I agree that Twilight, et al. actually belong in the "Young Adult" category, rather than the "Children's Books" category, which strikes me as better covering, say, Winnie the Pooh, etc. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 17:01, 2 April 2017 (UTC)Reply

I am not certain how clearcut the distinction is. The article Young adult fiction defines it as fiction aimed at people between age 12 and 20-something. But it also claims that: "The modern classification of young-adult fiction originated during the 1950s and 1960s". The inclusion of older works seems to have been done retrospectively.

The article includes the phrase: "the distinctions among children's literature, young adult literature, and adult literature have historically been flexible and loosely defined."

The list of subject matter in Young Adult fiction also leaves me puzzled: "friendship, getting into trouble, interest in the opposite sex, money, divorce, single parents, remarriage, problems with parents, grandparents, younger siblings, concern over grades/school, popularity, puberty, race, death, neighborhood, and job/working"

Why do I get the feeling that "interest in the opposite sex" could cover just about any work involving heterosexual relationships? Including Hippolytus (428 BC) by Euripides, where Phaedra's unrequited love for her own stepson is driving the entire plot. Dimadick (talk) 10:33, 22 April 2017 (UTC)Reply
