I think the only accurate way to determine whether it is a juvenile or young adult is by the RL on some of the books.
Beyond that, my library does up to 8th grade as juvenile above that is young adult or adult. But that is not a hard and fast rule as I have found books in the adult where I wondered what they were doing there.

My queston is for parents of young children and not-so-young children, if you can remember far back--and for teachers. I raised two daughters and worked in elementary and middle school classrooms, but I'm confused now: thinking of books and literature, by age, where does "children" end and "juvenile" begin? In some cases it's easy to tell--Preschool to grade 2--o3 3? are for children. Grades 4-6? ages 8-11? Those of you who receive my books-added list may have noticed how even professional reviewers vary with their designations of grade and age level the same book is appropriate for, and the Publishers' product descriptions are sometimes way off. Sometimes I wonder if whoever decided the age level had actually read the book.CindyWISH LIST (CALLED REQUESTED ADDITIONS TO THE BOOKSHARE COLLECTION)IS AVAILABLE AThttp://www.friendsofbookshare.org/wish_list/wish_list.htm www.lljfm.net/bookshare/home.htm A LIST OF BOOKS CURRENTLY BEING SCANNED IS AVAILABLE AT http://www.friendsofbookshare.org/ www.lljfm.net/bookshare/home.htm To unsubscribe from this list send a blank Email to bksvol-discuss-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxxput the word 'unsubscribe' by itself in the subject line.
