Publishers of juvenile literature categorize books by age of readers. Middle grade books are aimed at ages 8 to 12 and young adult (YA) books, at ages over 12. However, some YA books are written for ages 14 to 21, and a new category for ages 10 to 14 is now available.
The main characters of the "challenged" YA books in my previous blog are 16-years-old, but readers as young as eleven have posted reviews. Examples for ttyl: http://teenspace.cincinnatilibrary.org/books/reviews.asp?book=96.
