What is now understood as the Young Adult (YA) genre started to take shape between the 1940s and 1960s, officially popularized as more of a categorization label by library associations in the 1960s for readers between the ages of 12 and 18. It was the publication of groundbreaking books like The Outsidersby the late '60s that began to cement this as a true literary genre, one perfect to get tweens and teens to see the beauty of reading.
