[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks so much everyone! As silly as it sounds, I feel much better continuing to hold the line and say no after all the feedback. I just wanted to make sure that I was not over-reacting. As far as book length, my DD breezed through all Harry Potter at 8 and recently devoured the His Dark Materials trilogy. Unfortunately, book length does not deter her when she is motivated. I have no doubt that she would and it to the end. Guess I need to gear up for a few years of tears and attempted convincing. Lol[/quote]

OP, I was this kid, and realistically, she is going to read IT whether you want her to or not. If you tell her that it's a very long book that has some adult material that she will find upsetting and to wait until she's 12 or something, that might work. But it also might not. With a kid who is that motivated, it might be a better strategy to have her read it and talk about the material.
