It did challenge my reading skills because it was much longer than any other books I had read at that point, but it make me a faster reader, a stronger reader, and gave me more reading stamina. Some people are mentioning the gore aspect, but I don't think it was so bad because my Dad used to read Grimm's fairy tales to me before bed. Finally, I think 9 year old's can handle reading the "dam" word.

If your child has trauma though the book might be a triggering due to the gore, the cursing, a character is mute and unable to call for help, and the Dad and daughter do get separated a few times.(less)
