I saw in another thread that someone said an agent recommended changes to make their book a tween book. What exactly is a tween book? The reason I'm asking is that I think my book is a little old for MG but a little young for YA. The MC is 14.
So it's specifically aimed at girls. Boys of the same age would still be considered upper middle grade?

The MC of my new book is eleven years old, and she's starting middle school. She is very disappointed that middle school is not the way she pictured it. She's a a bit boy crazy, wants to act more grown up, is into fashion, striving for glamour, etc. I've been thinking it was MG, but now I'm thinking it might be tween.
What do you all think?
I probably will put up a sample in SYW later (much later) and ask that question, because it might be hard for people to give their thoughts without reading some of it first.
