Horror's Greatest Hits
Denise Saxon asked this question about Cinder (The Lunar Chronicles, #1):
I have an 9 year old who really wants to read this book (she is reading at least 7th grade level). Is the theme too advanced? I'd love your opinion on any advanced/troubling things in the book so I could evaluate whether she could handle it. Thank you!
Tucks It's pretty clean for a YA book. I don't remember any cursing, despite Amariah's reply...will have to look into that.

The series turns a little darker…moreIt's pretty clean for a YA book. I don't remember any cursing, despite Amariah's reply...will have to look into that.

The series turns a little darker towards the next few books, though it's not anything more than PG.

However, "Fairest," which is kind of an add-on book (not really part of the series, but explores the 'villain,' Levana's past). This book does have some themes that would be difficult for a nine-year-old, especially 'cause it's about adults trying to figure out a very messy marriage.

But so far, "Cinder," "Scarlet," and "Cress" are relatively fine in terms of YA literature. (less)
