Thank you so much for the rec - I really feel honoured, dear BB!

And now an ignorant non-native-speaker asks you to explain YA. Could it be "Young Author" or something of the kind?

LOL - I used to devour Enid Blyton novels as a kid - all I remember is, that the kids there seemed to eat sandwiches all the time and that they had nice torches and shoes with soft soles.

Thank you for this interesting article!
