Does every book need a defined age range? I am thinking of books like 'A Christmas Carol' and 'Huckleberry Finn'. There is no specific audience, and I feel categorizing either of those as 'MG / YA' or 'Adult' is incorrect.
Those are old classics – but yes, new fiction needs to sit somewhere in a Barnes & Noble, so where does it go? The adult section? The YA section? The MG section? It’s necessary from a retail perspective.
twain did not think of huck finn as a kids book per se~
