Interesting. Your library had a YA section? Mine only had a children's
section, and an adult section. The children's section had nursery rhymes
up through Freddy the Pig and Doctor Dolittle.
By the time that I was eight, I was going into the adult section, so
that I could get Norton's work.
Although, if a library had a young adult section, that would, in my
opinion, be the proper place for Norton. I've read at least forty of
her novels, and every one of them seems like young adult (or "juveniles"
as they used to be called).
