Fiction. My book store would not have a lot of sections.

I remember going to the library when I was 10 and asking the librarian to help me find a book that was similar to the Redwall series. She cheerfully handed me Watership Down and told me it was very similar because it had anthropomorphic animals in it. \ \ It's like going to Walmart and saying you like Nerf and they suggest a glock.

Young adult. Kid lit is perhaps a little irresponsible. Fantasy might work, but it’s a tricky book to classify. Adams also wrote the Plague Dogs, which is straight up nightmare fuel for kids. At least it was for me. Honestly, it’s one of my all-time favourite books and I’ve never really thought of this question. I read it _very_ young, but I had a pretty solid temperament for heavy stuff even then. I know a bunch of people who find it quite upsetting even as adults reading it for the first time.

- Fiction - Action and Adventure - Greatest of all time - Special interest - FUCKING AWESOME - A must read - Never been out print from the moment it was published - If you have not read this you are missing out.

Horror Certainly traumatised me as a child.

A growing section titled "no you don't want this for your young child despite what you think" and for me that also has Maus in there ("it's a graphic novel so it must be fine for kids!")

Young Adult>Classic>Shelf A A lot of people give this book and it's cartoon shit because they were exposed too young, but it's message is something that a lot of other books don't offer so I really think it should be available. Ideally, ages 12-17 would be able to handle the content and genuinely digest the meaning while still being young enough for it to have a lasting impact on their development. Also it would be a library, not a bookstore.

Hm, I'd probably get a copy for the fantasy section as well. It really reads like a fantasy adventure.
