Horror's Greatest Hits
Margie asked this question about The Crystal Cave (Arthurian Saga, #1):
Is this book appropriate for children? It has a reading level rating of 5.7 (fifth grade). It's also classified under children's books on Amazon, but my sister mentioned that it may not be appropriate for her. She's a very mature 8 year old, reading at 7th grade level. Can handle violence and dark subject matter fine. She's finishing the Harry Potter series now and loves it.
Kristina Coop-a-Loop These books are amazingly well-written and explore the Arthur myth. I read them when I was 12 or so and have re-read them. They are NOT fantasy books …moreThese books are amazingly well-written and explore the Arthur myth. I read them when I was 12 or so and have re-read them. They are NOT fantasy books similar to Harry Potter! These books are more about the power/political alliances and kings and queens and Merlin's role in helping Uther Pendragon come to power. I would say it demands a more sophisticated and intelligent reader--for both children AND adults. These books are much better than most of the YA crap being published now. (less)
