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.

    I read it to our (at the time) 12 year-old when she had trouble sleeping. Didn't help, go figure. With my hindsight glasses on, I guess I could have picked a better book for that particular problem.
