Happy 20th anniversary to Harry Potter! We always knew the boy wizard had some Dickens connections. Here's another possible one: Young Adult fiction expert Krysti Meyer suggests that "if books like a lot of Charles Dickens’ works, or Jane Austen’s, or 'The Catcher in the Rye' or 'To Kill a Mockingbird' had been written today, they’d be labeled as YA, and I think a lot of people would skip over that experience of reading them just because they’d have that YA label on them."
Do you agree? Why or why not?
