Michael R. Wilson answers “My 12 year old is interested in reading...”

A Goodreads user asked this question about Storm Front (The Dresden Files, #1):

My 12 year old is interested in reading this series. Is there anything in the book(s) which might be inappropriate? Thanks, in advance, for any helpful information. mb

Michael R. Wilson Obviouls the original poster's child is now grown so this comment is for others interested in an answer to the same question they might have.

There are so very many age-appropriate books that a 12-year-old would love to read, I recommend steering them toward those. I don't necessarily think that reading something like this will harm them (though it could), I just don't think the themes in this book will interest them as much as something geared to a younger audience might. When they are older they can decide whether this is their type of jam and read it, if they wish.(less)
