Monthly reminder: Many people have a book in them, but it takes a special kind of freak to leave the Land of Laziness, cross the Plains of Procrastination and Insecurity Mountain, find the Blade of No One Made You Do This, and use it to cut your chest open and yank that book out.

70 years ago, on this date, Emmett Till was kidnapped and brutally murdered by white men.
His family, including his cousin who was with him at the time, is repeating the train ride he took from Chicago to Mississippi in 1955 to mark the anniversary

In your opinion, what aspects differentiate YA from adult (fantasy specifically), either in prose, character design, setting, etc.
I'm not pitting the two against each other. I just want to know where the line blurs and where it clears up.

Aspen trees are growing taller in Yellowstone thanks to wolves that prey on elk, which graze on trees.
Since wolves’ return, Yellowstone’s aspens are recovering, study finds
The researchers found a 152-fold increase in sapling and young-tree density.
