I wasn't sure if I should post this in MG or YA, but because the nature of the question is about the hazy section in between, I thought I would stick it here.
I wrote my novel without thinking about where it fits. I picked my characters ages and situations based on what I thought fit my story.
Now that it's written and I've done some revisions, I am wondering if I picked the wrong category for my voice.
Right now I have it pegged as YA. My main character is 15 and on the early side of high school.
What I would really like to know, is if you all think that it sounds more like Upper MG?
Is there such a thing as young YA? It doesn't fit in with most of the YA I've read, but it's also a fairly lighthearted book with a good bit of humor thrown in.
My first chapter is here. I would be forever grateful for some insight.
