[quote=Anonymous]There is plenty of good fantasy fiction for mid-grade. If it were my daughter, I'd let her know that she will appreciate these teenage books so much more when she is older, and that if she reads them now instead of books meant for her age, she will both miss the best part of these books and miss a whole segment of literature that will not be as interesting to her when she is older. For every age there is a library. Don't miss a step.

In any case, I urge you to actually read it yourself first, and then decide.

Julia Kagawa's Iron King series (not the Manga versions) is faerie based and had some romantic overtones but remains age appropriate (e.g., the girl has a flushing sensation she can't quite understand when the boy walks over -- that sort of thing).

Kiki Hamilton's "The Faerie Ring" series would work too for mid-grade.

Laura Sullivan's "Under the Green Hill" series has characters the right age for a 10-year old.

Paul Crilley's "The Invisible Order" series is also aimed at this age group.

You can keep her interested in the genre without the sex for now.[/quote]
