I’ve come to feel YA historical is a bit of an oxymoron, at least in the current U.S. market. So many so-called YA historicals I’ve seen in the last 10 years or so seem more focused on a young person (often written as much more modern) who just happens to be living through history, instead of putting the focus on the history and featuring characters who just happen to be young. There’s also the whole issue of teenagers and even preteens of 50+ years ago being more mature than their modern counterparts, with different obligations and responsibilities.
Sorry, that should say “10 or so years.”
There’s no reason why it should be an oxymoron, is there? It’s just that some authors don’t get it right.

A lot of advice that is available to guys is just plain wrong, probably because it was written for guys by a guy.
