To be honest, I would argue that the overall quality in the YA/MG markets are higher than their Adult counterparts at the moment. People who say that are … assholes, to put it politely. I’m not one of those foolish folks who thinks because a novel is written for a younger audience that it is inherently less sophisticated than an adult read. And I think that my selection of novels and nonfiction so far have given you a pretty good glimpse into my personality.Īll that said (and ego stroking aside), I recently noticed a glaring hole in my repertoire: I hadn’t reviewed a single Young Adult or Middle Grade novel. As any critic worth their salt will tell you-what you choose to read/watch and then write about says a lot about who you are as not only a consumer of the arts, but also as a human in general. Looking back over all the wonderful works I’ve had the pleasure of reviewing for Book Pipeline, I’m proud to say I’ve read across a wide gamut of genres and subject matters.
