#Publishers, we are asking for a new category of literature that falls in between middle grade and young adult. Middle schoolers need Young Teen Lit and librarians are eager to purchase! #youngteenlit should have the following 5 elements (1/6)

I totally agree and hope that publishers read your open letter in SLJ. I work with 11-14 year olds, and publishers seem to miss the 13-14 yo range. Or they publish a book with a 13 y.o. character then add a young, cartoon-style cover. My students won’t check out young looking covers.
I think problem is that we need more #mglit that appeals to age 13-15. Most MG books appeal to 10-12, while YA is 16 up. We’ve lost the in-between group. I wrote about this here:

I’m looking forward to re-connecting to educator friends on this platform. It feels like Twitter circa 2010. #edusky
