Yes, read it! It is an ideal time to pick it up. Especially if you are a creative person and foresee creative pursuits in your future. The writing style is very casual and conversational; it's a very easy, fast read. Honestly, I wish this book was around when I was a teen heading to art school and my design career that followed. It would have helped me a lot with many of the dips and dives along the way!

Kate Dana is right, with one exception: this is not for you "if you are a creative person..." As Elizabeth Gilbert puts it, you ARE creative by default. How you create/what you create is what varies. I'm giving it to my tween-age daughter to listen next!

Baile - you can totally read this and get something good out of it! And I would say to just pick up anything that you are curious and see where it takes you. It's possible that vocabulary or concepts will get in your way sometimes (and of course heed warnings from adults about certain books that may contain violent or disturbing content), but I think for the most part the whole library is open to you. It's actually really fun to read something when you are young and then revisit it when you are a little older, say in five or ten years and see how your understanding of it has changed and deepened; perhaps you may even relate to it in ways you didn't expect. Happy reading!

I listened to the audio version and found it to be very moving!!!!! You are not too young to hear what Big Magic has in store for you!
