Go home, EW...you're drunk
Will someone please let EW know what a YA novel actually IS? Jeez.
Re: Go home, EW...you're drunk
The Giver
Betsy-Tacy
A Wrinkle in Time
Hatchet
Holes
Books with teen protagonists that are told in the style of the character being older and looking back on his/her life as a child are generally not classified as YA
A Separate Peace
To Kill a Mockingbird
Prep (WTF)
Flowers for Algernon is one I teach in 8th grade, but Charlie, the MC is 37, FFS.
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time is published as adult, not YA
The Hobbit? Dune? Huck Finn? Not YA.
And then the pairings...how can you compare standalone titles to an entire series? Could you have found more Apples and Oranges to compare? Nick & Norah's vs The Arrival? REALLY?
This list is so dumb.
