[quote=Anonymous]A 10 year old is really different than a 13 year old. I definitely agree there comes a point (7th grade maybe) when you stop censoring/controlling reading material. But 10 isn't there yet, in my mind. They are still very much kids at that point. I don't think reading only one genre is bad at all - kids love to delve into something, binge, and move on. (And who are we kidding... adults do that all the time on netflix, too.) But this particular book sounds like a problem. I wouldn't hesitate to tell a 10 year old that the book isn't appropriate and she can't read it yet. I wouldn't "forbid" it, just explain that there's content in there that I don't think is OK for kids her age, and in 2 or 3 years she's welcome to read it. OP's daughter sounds like she devours books. I doubt having one book restricted is going to take away her love of reading.[/quote]
