Be Charmed by These Bewitching Books from 2025
Miranda asked this question about The Orphan Keeper:
What age level is this appropriate for? Is it something I could read with my 10 year old daughter (reads at high-school level, so content is the issue)? Thanks.

In my opinion there isn’t anything that will be a problem (three or four hells and damns), but what isn’t offensive to me, may be to another. Best advice I can offer, if you have the time, give it a quick read to be certain you agree. That said, a recent newspaper reviewer noted, “The Orphan Keeper … doesn't contain any sexual content or objectionable language, but does include two briefly described instances of child abuse.” The instances of child abuse she mentions are mild, yet critical for the story plot, and until she listed them, they wouldn’t have crossed my mind as possibly being offensive or even worth bringing up. But again, we all see the world differently. You do get a gold star on your forehead, however, for being a good parent and asking the question. Way to go for that!

As an update, for what it's worth, The Orphan Keeper was just selected as a Featured Read by the Children's Book Council in their Seasonal Showcase. Their suggested reading age for the book is listed as 14 and up. http://www.cbcbooks.org/cbc_book/the-...(less)
