How young of a reader would you recommend this book? Amazon lists it as 12-18 years. A reviewer on there mentioned sex and swearing. Just wondered appropriateness for my 10 year old son who is an advanced reader but conservative on sexual/language content.

The sex is being slightly overstated. There are two instances, but everything beyond brief mentions of kissing happens off-page, and the references made to it after the fact are mostly about the emotional impact.

If those three things give you pause, you may want to consider the other Journey to Star Wars books: Moving Target, The Weapon of a Jedi, and Smuggler's Run, which are written specifically for the 10-14 range.(less)
