Teen Lit, Without The Whole "Teen" Thing
Author M.T. Anderson doesn't buy the notion that literature aimed at teen readers should be less sophisticated than books meant for adults. "Anderson's attitude helps explain Octavian Nothing, an ultra-challenging, two-volume young-adult novel that runs 900-plus pages and asks teen readers to contemplate the American Revolution from a wildly unfamiliar point of view."
