I'd say about 40,000 to 100,000 for young novel.
Saying that, when I wrote 50,000 words for nanowrimo, it fitted my story just right. I guess every novels different.
J.K Rowlings novel's got progressively bigger untill Order of the Phoenix...but then they started to go down as she built up the tension and sliced the word count.
Hope that helps,
