Peter Plantec 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

They know a lot more about sex and violence than most parents realize. There are a few things in each of the Dresden books are either gruesome or fairly explicit. Nevertheless, I would not withhold these books from my 12-year-old daughters...they are now grown and one of them has read the entire series. As a parent, you have a responsibility to raise your child by reasonable standards. Just be aware that overprotective parents are usually quite destructive in the long run.(less)
