At least half of the main characters in Martin's Game of Thrones are under sixteen, but it's a straight-out adult novel.

But with the exception of Rickon (and maybe Bran in the first chapter), most don't really act in a childish way. Martin's view is that one of an adult. If little Rickon is annoying and can't shut up, that's an adult point of view. I don't know any children who like to read from the 'adult that looks down on him/her' point of view.
Isn't the point that if you have to identify with a younger character, that its easier when that character is your age. Same goes for the sex of your main character. But in the end there are no real definitions in anything but science.
