I've been thinking about this the last few days, especially after my kid sister just came crashing home with a bag full of Nancy Drew books.
Would the age of the main character impact, in any way, the target audience? Nancy Drew is in her late teens and she's read by third graders and up. So would having a character in... I don't know, early twenties or late teens, as the MC influence a book you are writing for ages pre-teen to teen?
I think, and believe, it's more about what you're writing (word choice, prose etc), but I want to make sure.
