>>The question for many seems to be: How small does the child audience
have to be before we can marginalize them, before we can say, your response to the book doesn't count because it's so far outside the norm? What if only one kid in every hundred likes the book? What if only one kid in every school? If that one kid's going to be that BBYA teen, it's enough for me.<<
The list at large might be interested (and amused) to learn that "that BBYA teen" is 16 year old Miranda Pettingill -- fantasy writer Franny Billingsley's daughter.
