Description


Trending today: a deep-dive study into young-adult literature discovers that main characters’ average age is on the rise – but why? The study (and Victor) think it’s because YA readers are trending older, so they’re seeking protagonists who are closer to them in age – but Aaron wonders if it’s not just a consequence of there being so many sequels. (Also, Victor wonders: what is it that causes a book to be labeled “young adult” in the first place?)
