I was horrified when I found out the norm for a YA book is under
60,000 words. It seemed so terribly short.
I wonder if the ever-lengthening Harry Potter books aren't opening
the market to longer middle and upper YA books, though. After all,
The Thief Lord clocks in at 400 pages, The Amulet of
Samarkand at 464, and both Inkheart and Eragon at
a whopping 544. I could go on, but will shut up instead.
