I'm an author of YA novels, and I have my fingers crossed that my newest novel, HARD LOVE, will cross over to real young adults, that is, the 16% age group. I see that my college-age daughter and her friends often pick up YAs, especially those that deal with older teenagers (M.E. Kerr, Barbara Cooney, Brock Cole, Ron Koertge) and now with Francesca Lia Block and Rob Thomas, it seems to me that there's almost another genre growing here for
"upper" YAs.
Personally, I have my fingers crossed for it.
