What does YA mean?
Young adult (YA) is not a genre, but a category that contains any books marketed towards people aged 12-18 (though these ages are flexible). However, the marketing of a book simply indicates that the books should be interesting to and appropriate for people within the age range, but absolutely anyone can enjoy these books.
