Confession time again.  My favorite books are almost all Young Adult fantasy.  I’m talking about Hunger Games, Harry Potter, Series of Unfortunate Events and pretty much anything Tamara Pierce writes.  I love these books, and eagerly waited for each new one.  Honestly, when the last Harry Potter book came out, the book store I frequent had to let me in the door when they opened and open a box to give me a copy.  Then being a grown up took over and I had to go to work and leave it in my bag the whole damn day.

I am not the only adult reading children’s fiction, though.  Hunger Games was a hit that spanned generations, and while I haven’t had a chance to read the Divergent series I have friends pushing thirty like me who have read and loved them.

So, why do we, as grownups, still read young…
