Juvenile

Juvenile fiction covers books aimed at children aged 0–11 (preschool to grade 6), generally bridging the gap between picture books and young adult literature. It includes themes of friendship, adventure, and coming-of-age, featuring straightforward language and often targeting readers aged 5–9 (or up to 12). Common formats include chapter books and series.

Also known as "Junior Fiction" or "Juvenile Fiction"
