Yes! And have you noticed that a lot of books that used to be classed as YA or even adult have been moved into the children's section? To Kill a Mockingbird is a classic example, but there are a lot of others, most of which I can't remember. I think I've seen The Lord of the Rings in children's sections of libraries before, which makes no sense to me at all. And then there are series that move from one tone to another, like our own beloved Eugenides books - I don't have a strong quarrel with The Thief being in the kids' section, though I think of it as more of a YA book. But QoA definitely isn't a children's book, nor are the others.
