How to tell if a book is young adult or adult?
I’m Thinking About starting to write a book, but I don’t really know if it would be young adult or adult fiction. Could a book where the main characters are teens still be an adult novel? How would that be done? The book about a large orphanage that is trying to be shut down by a missionary/religious group with ulterior motives. The orphanage is seen as a utopia/home to the kids/teens, most who have spent there entire lives there, not a stereotypical bad orphanage.
Adult themes = adult
Under 200 pages, no adult themes = young adult
Over 200 pages, no adult themes = adult
There are exceptions, of course, like Harry Potter.
