While we may not consider Harry Potter and the Twilight (especially those!) books particularly good, they were particularly good at one thing: getting kids reading. And reading LARGE books. They also really relaunched "series books". And now, almost every author writes series. It's hard to find "standalone" books. Also, modern children's and young adult books tend to delve into quite deep and disturbing areas.
