Younger Adult Reader of the Day: movie producer Nina Jacobson

From the November 16th New York Times Magazine:

Nina Jacobson, prolific movie producer of "The Hunger Games" trilogy among others. When asked if she had:

"any feelings about whether adults should be so into reading Y.A. novels?"

She answered:

"To me, a great story well told is a great story well told, and just because the protagonist is a young adult doesn’t mean that story has less merit or worth than if the protagonist is a full-grown adult."
