a cartoon character says i was reading the same paragraph over and over for like eleven minutes .. Alt: Gif from the cartoon ADVENTURE TIME. Jake the dog, a walking and talking yellow dog, says "I was reading the same paragraph over and over for, like, eleven minutes." He and Finn, a boy with a white hat and green backpack and blue pants are walking down a dirt path.

The YA publishing crisis isn’t that we need more mature YA books or a Mature YA label, it’s that we need more YA books published for teens of all ages and less YA books published as YA but also wanting to reach Adult audiences. Adults have plenty of books published for them.
