Abstract

Are there definable boundaries between a children’s novel, a YA novel and an adult novel? This paper suggests that combining two approaches to literary criticism, Reader Theory and Narratology, can create a practical framework for teacher librarians to use in assessing whether a novel meets the needs, interests and literacy skills of their students.
