Many adults wonder why other adults read Young Adult fiction or even middle grade fiction intended for much younger audiences. What about YA and MG fiction appeals to older audiences? There are several reasons how fiction that is targeted at younger readers can appeal to mature folks.
YA and MG Literature as Escapism
A 2012 survey showed that 55 percent of YA readers are adults. People have asked if this is a problem. The first point often brought up in regards to why YA literature is so popular among adults is how good YA books are at building fantastic and inventive worlds. The great imagination and fantasy often written into these YA books can really be appealing to anyone. Some argue, though, that for adults YA literature is a perfect source of escapism.

1. What’s it like flying with Avia?
I don’t know. It depends. Is she listening? It really depends on the day. Sometimes it’s fine. Sometimes it’s a shit your pants kinda thing.
2. Have you ever refused to fly with Avia?
No. That is the beginning of a months long argument that I am never in the mood for.
3. So does that mean you refused in the past?
I declined on time because I had to work. It wasn’t even a refusal. I had to work. I was due in Montana for some reason. She was due to fly to Kentucky or Tennessee. It was a four month fight. I think that was the time she crashed in the field.

1. How did you land your Seneca in that rainstorm in Michigan?
Sideways. Seriously, I thought Victor was going to piss his pants. There was a ceiling of 500 feet and gusts to 30 knots. The Seneca is equipped with GPS, long-range tanks, extra tanks and an auto pilot that can do everything but land the plane. Once I plug in the coordinates, the plane pretty much flies itself.
2. Does your plane have onboard weather radar?
No. There’s no point. L won’t pay for it, and it doesn’t matter what the weather is, unless it’s a tropical storm or hurricane. When the shit needs delivered, it needs delivered. If I miss a drop, we lose money.
3. Is there ever a reason you won’t fly other than weather?
Duck tape solves most problems, but the mechanics will ground my plane on occasion for extensive damage. Usually caused by the Sanchez. I crashed so hard one time, they grounded me for six weeks due to a head injury.
