There is some discussion from the male character's point of view of his ignorance in the matters of sex and of a guardian's instruction to him not to make any babies. There is also a brief discussion of their virginity and the awkwardness it would have caused had they followed through with the experience. </spoiler> The main difficulty an advanced 11/12 year old would have in reading this is the proliferation of awkward and similar-sounding fantasy names. I'm not sure they could keep track of the characters without undue frustration.(less)
