[quote=Anonymous]Hunger Games. My 10 year old asked about it recently and after I told him the plot he was like "thats horrible I would have nightmares!". But he was going to read it before he knew the plot because he'd heard other kids were. Maybe some young adult books involving suicide. Some are pretty dark. If you have a sensitive kid, its not something id want them to dwell on at that age. The Boy in the Striped Pajamas. That book haunts me decades later. These are the things that immediately come to mind. Im certain there are thousands others. All media comes in a variety of themes. Just like you wouldn't want an 11 year old to watch all movies, or sit in on all group discussions, or view all paintings, books are the same. What you put in your head stays there. Its Ok to tell 11 year olds they arent ready for particular books. [/quote]
