SO I got to googling. Here's the deal, most people online are going to say that your young adult book should be around 50,000 to 80,000 words. Anything over 100,000 is apparently wayyy too long. Yeah, okay...but the issue with that is the fact that most popular young adult novels tend to hover around 100,000 +/- 5,000.
Now you have your wordcount estimate, which is the standard way to talk about a book's length. Contemporary novels tend to go about 80-100k, fantasy gets to be a bit longer, while YA fiction tends to cap at 75k. If you have 200 words on every hand-written page, you'll have a half-novel of 40,000 words. I have a novella of 40k that measures 137 pages on a 6x9 paperback. (292 words per page.). Most fiction paperback books average about 250-350 words per page. The Hobbit is about 95,000 words. My paperback copy of The Hobbit is 303 pages, so with a bit of math we find it clocks 313.5 words a page. You can also get a feel for how type, margins, and dimensions change the page count by googling some of the well known titles on your shelf.
