Time Travel discussion

How would you all feel about setting aside a month for reading children's or YA books? Maybe your choice in case you've not read others that the group has already read, for example Tom's Midnight Garden? Or maybe just nominate and vote as usual?

(Btw, I noticed this: Tom's Midnight Garden Graphic Novel. I will look for it!)

Wait, aren't the Harry Potter novels all YA? Or am I not up-to-speed on the nomenclature?

Give me a Time Travel for Kids novel and I'm "All In."

[OK, worst case scenario, I promise to read the first 25 pages, no matter what.]

I would be good with a YA selection.

I don't mind reading young adult fiction.

Oh terrific, thanks to you all.

Here's a stab at clarification for Harv and lurkers too shy to ask:

YA is mainly for teens.

Most classics, like the first several Harry Potters and Tom's Midnight Garden, are more likely to be tagged as MG, for Middle Grade, which is generally thought of as independent readers who are not yet teens, perhaps ages 9 to 12 or so. Or they might be tagged Children's.

Nomenclature is a beast, because people have so many different opinions about what kids of different ages are ready to read.

I have read YA books that are as intense or cover tougher topics than non-YA books. I think many times it is a thin line between the two.

I would be up for that.

Great!
