I would say there is a popular cultural phenomenon going on now in the entire genre of young adult literature. The Barnes and Noble across the park from my office has stragetically placed a large table of YA titles directly when one gets off the escalator to the second floor (there are four floors, and adult fiction is on the top). Their section of books for this age target--both hardcover and paperback--has enormously increased as a direct cause of recent best-sellers. And the shame for teenagers in browsing the YA sections seems to have lifted.
Robbie - I've seen that section at that store (the Union Square B&N, right?) and I always check it out to make sure I haven't missed anything good for teens in ordering the YA books for Brooklyn Public. I think the way they've set it up is really great - looks very inviting.
