Jacqueline Rose, a scholar, has theorized that there is no such thing as “children’s literature.” Instead, she argues, the literature produced by adults is a way for them to hold on to their idea of an innocent childhood. As someone who was a published author in her teens, how would you react to Rose’s comments? Do you think your representation of adolescence has more authenticity?
