I've recently completed a middle-grade fantasy. I wrote it because the story I had in my head would only fit this genre and age group. Prior to this, the only children's books I had ever read were the Harry Potter books.
I am the first to admit that I know very little about what is out there in terms of middle-grade fiction.
When I go through the manuscript now, it almost feels upmarket to me, though I am not sure how to describe what that means.
Perhaps, if I should take a YA example, it would be the difference between 'Twilight' and 'The Fault in Our Stars'.
My question is, is there such a thing as upmarket children's books, and if yes, what are some examples?
Thanks!
