[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I read it recently because the movie came out. It’s long and kind of tedious for a 10yo. I did not find it scary or too violent. I mean it’s violent, but it’s a book. Nothing too graphic. That’s my opinion. What I would not want[b] my 10yo reading is the sexual stuff.[/b] And as much as I would bet she wouldn’t even read that far, she may skip to it. I would honestly rather my 10yo watch the movies. So maybe you can persuade her to just watch the movie(s) instead. [/quote] This is mostly wrong. Most of the sex stuff is fairly benign,[/b] save the questionable end scene. [b]Violence should always trump sex stuff when it comes to children. The book is one of my favorites for dealing head on with social issues: bullying, child abuse, racism, domestic violence, bad parenting, young friendships. It is amazing and Iw ant my kid to read it. But prob not at ten. The violence and situations the children are put into--the descriptions are not bad, but it is rough material. My ten year old can [b]handle [/b][i]it, but I would rather him wait until he is older so he can [i]appreciate[/i][b] it.[/quote] Well, yeah. All that is true. But it was that end scene I was hinting at. I don’t want her reading that. The violence is terrible too. [/quote]
