I think yes, but not for the usual reasons that get a book shelved in the teen section (violence, sex, drugs.) The Thief is an intricate, layered story with a genuine twist at the end that will have you flipping back and re-reading pages to make sure you know what's going on. So, The Thief intrigued me for more than the obvious reasons. ![]() There are plenty of books in the children's section that I think, not because of content but because of complexities of the stories, should be in the teen section. I am always interested how these decisions are made by the higher ups. Currently, although there are both "children's" and "teen" editions of this book series (the only differences being the size of the book itself) my store only stocks the teen edition. The Thief is a book that has been a constant on the shelves almost as long as I have been a bookseller and it has bounced back and forth between being shelved in the children's and teen sections often. With The Thief, published in 1996 and winner of the Newbery Honor the following year, Megan Whalen Turner began a quartet of books that she has just completed. ![]()
