A number of authors dabble in different genres, but not as many attempt to write for both adults and children – it’s not easy! A book written for middle grade readers is going to sound differently than something written for teens which will also be different from something written for adults. But, authors do it all the time, some better than others, but I thought you might like to see a few authors that can cross the age brackets to write very different books for very different audiences.
I could only fit a few authors on my fun graphic, but don’t forget others like James Patterson, John Grisham, Madeleine L’Engle, Ursula K. Le Guin, Dave Berry and Ridley Pearson, Kelly Armstrong and so many others. Spend some time trying out these authors’ work and see what you think – can they write for both adults and kids? Or should they stick to one age group?
