What can I say. One I was reading from the "adult" section of the library around the second grade, I wouldn't be caught dead in the YA section (this response was reinforced by a school librarian who physically barred me from reading books in a section deemed "too advanced" for my age.
Fortunately, for some reason Heinlein's juveniles are almost always shelved in the regular fiction area but unfortunately L'Engle is almost always in the YA section of libraries. Since my interest in even good YA literature is so close to zero it isn't worth browsing those areas for the few nuggets that might actually interest me.
So it was out of sight, out of mind.
