It also discourages publishers and booksellers from offering nonfiction titles the market wants. “If the New York Times wants to meet readers’ interests with its bestseller lists and also nurture future readers of adult nonfiction, then highlighting juvenile nonfiction bestsellers is necessary,” added Hadjioannou. “Young readers are hungry for it.”They point to changes in this market as indicative of that hunger. They hope the New York Times will add three nonfiction bestseller lists for young people: one for picture books, one for middle-grade literature, and one for young adult literature.
