It's time for spring cleaning, and over at Eagle Eye we are here for it. Specifically, we're taking this time to clean up things over in our Kids & Young Adult section.
"We want to simplify the shopping experience and make it easier for people to find things they're looking for," said Cassandra Hamilton, who's been heading up the reorganization efforts with Diana Robinson.
When asked how we'd be simplifying, Hamilton said that we'd be more actively separating challenging young adult books from simpler titles for younger readers. We'll also be creating a mid-grade section, for readers who looking for a more challenging read that deals with simpler themes. Books that will end up in this categories include series like Dog Man, Dork Diaries, and Wings of Fire.
Besides mid-grade fiction, we've also created a number of new sections in children's nonfiction. These include "Cool Skills," where you can find books about subjects from skateboarding to knitting, and "LGBTQIA+," but that's just the tip of the iceberg.
"It's really important to get kids engaged with reading early, and this redesign will help shoppers find books to do just that," said Hamilton.
All of the reorganizing has also cleared up a lot of space for us, which we'll be filling with more books! Specifically, children's classics, mid-grade, graphic novels, young adult, and new releases will be seeing a surge of new titles. Per Cassandra's recommendation, we will be getting in "The Wolves of Willoughby Chase," while Diana is more excited about reinvigorating the children's classics.
"The kids need the classics!" said Diana in our interview.
So if you've ever felt a little lost in the kid's section, come on down and check out the changes for yourself. The book you've been looking for might have been under your nose the whole time.
