Help me out: what are the middle grade or YA novels from the past 20 years that you feel are the richest in language/best written from a literary standpoint? I need to prove sthg to someone who thinks modern kid lit is dumbed down and shallow 😐
@rebeccamakkai The fact that you need to crowdsource your rebuttal is proof this person is right. Go to any YA section of any big bookstore and tell me if the majority of what's on offer isn't patronizing.
@dinosaur_info @rebeccamakkai It’s the same for adult books, other than the one little shelf of literary fiction. 🤷♀️ I for one do not shame anyone for what they read.
@WordyKylie @rebeccamakkai I think we have a responsibility to provide our children with good literature and to steer them toward reading experiences that will make them better people
