N Zimmers asked Lydia Reeder:

I am interested in finding a good book for my 11-year-old niece's birthday and came across Dust Bowl Girls, which looks to be a wonderful book. I can't find anything about the reading level. She's a strong reader. Could she handle this book? Thank you.

Lydia Reeder While I wrote Dust Bowl Girls for adults, it is considered to be a YA crossover book. That group would be slightly older than 11 years, but if your niece is a strong reader and likes sports/adventure books, it would definitely work. One of the main characters is 16 years old, and most of the rest of the players are about 18. Happy reading!
