Unless they are forced to do so, most adults don't wander into the kids' section of any major big-box bookseller. For your average science-fiction reader–a book shopper who gets itchy even around the "normal" fiction–the back of the bookstore isn't on their map, as if they fear falling off of the edge of the world if they cross over its threshold.
