o.k. that's good. I like that 8th-grade cut-off for juvenle.
But where is the cut-off of children's vs. juvenile? I've been thinking grades
4-7 or 8 juvenile, but then when I see age 8 I'm thinking, is one in 3d grade
8? Should that be children? On my list I include what the various review
sources for schools say, but they vary often, and sometimes widely. And the
publisher recommendations are occasionally way off. I've seen books recommended
for ages 4-8 that clearly are for older kids.
