In Part 4 of our Holiday Shopping Guide today, we’re branching out from strictly YA. Why? Because we’re betting some of the folks on your shopping list are a bit younger. So today, we’ve got some of our picks for middle grade readers and for children’s books. And we’ve also thrown in our pick for YA books for adults — that is, adults who think they don’t like YA. You know the ones we’re talking about. Be sure to check out all of our shopping guides this week for more great ideas!
