I just finished Seabiscuit and there is no offensive language in the book. In one chapter, there is reference to the jockeys visiting a house of prostitutes but there are no details. I wish, for your sake, that readers would comment on the book and not the movie.

Its entirely OK for a 12 yr old to read this book. Its about courage, hope, depression, fighting back from being a cripple. And ultimately, triumph.

It's a great story, but if you don't want a 12-year-old to read offensive language, have him/her wait a few years. The jockey in the story had a filthy mouth.

The movie has pervasive cursing, that I know I would be disgusted reading, so I wouldn't recommend it for any preteen!
