Traditionally, MG used to be recommended for 9 to 12-year-olds, but the age range is often expanded now to 8 to 12 or 9 to 13. <br /><br />MG for the lower age range can run 25,000 to 30,000 words, while the upper can go very long, like some of the Harry Potter books. There's everything in between as well. and <br /><br />To add even more choices, there are some MG books with a lower word count but a content more appealing to older kids for the more reluctant readers who aren't ready or willing to tackle a longer book. Hmmm...maybe we should do a longer post on this.
