Can a short novel have 32 pages or does it have to have more?

John,
Children's books can be quite short; but this wouldn't be a novel in the accepted sense for the adult market. It's really a short story, at around 10,000 words.
Hi John. I am not an expert but that does sound short. A novella is normally 60 to 120 pages or 7,500 to 40,000 words. It is better to go off word count as that is what agents will ask you. Don't forget I'm not an expert.

I hope that isn't a disappointing reply.
