![]() ![]() Not because I necessarily think it really is, but because it's something that stuck in my mind while I was reading it: how you do categorize a classic, important book like this?įirst of all, let me start by saying, I'm not a huge believer in labels like MG or YA. So, now that you've read the legal small print, what do you think? I'm going to spend this blog post arguing that The Book Thief is a YA Novel. It does not mean you should run out and buy this book for your fifteen-year-old (although, if your fifteen-year-old asks about this book, maybe you should read it yourself, and decide if you think they're ready). It does not mean that this is necessarily the official opinion of YA Confidential. It's written in the interest of sparking conversation, in the hopes of getting people to think about great books, and debate what makes them great, and how or whether they should be categorized. ![]() Disclaimer: this is a blog post, not a mission statement. ![]()
