[quote=Anonymous]I would not worry at all, op. I think those books are great for both ages. For some reason kids nowadays seem to want to plow through books at the earliest possible moment - like, kindergartners and first graders reading Harry Potter. I would not censor my kids from reading anything they want, but there are so many awesome books nowadays that there is no need to rush ahead. (I have always been a voracious reader, and I definitely read "adult" books at a young age because there was less choice in children's literature back then, especially for tweens.) My older son is 11 and is also a voracious reader, but just read Percy Jackson (even though most of his friends read the series several years ago) because they just didn't appeal to him until now. Like a pp suggested, my kids have trouble selecting books at the library (and with some exceptions, the librarians we encounter often do not have good suggestions). I still peruse the shelves with them, and my kids are late elementary and middle school![/quote]
