Alexandra answers “I have an 9 year old who really wants to...”

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!

Alexandra I personally think that it is okay. It all depends. I read Harry Potter in second grade, and it didn't even faze me, but Cinder isn't particularly bad…moreI personally think that it is okay. It all depends. I read Harry Potter in second grade, and it didn't even faze me, but Cinder isn't particularly bad. Once again, it all depends. If the person in question is okay with the very slightly "frightening" description of the disease, and the more advanced concepts in the book, then I would say yes.(less)
