Horror's Greatest Hits
Celia Adams asked this question about Rejected Princesses: Tales of History's Boldest Heroines, Hellions, and Heretics:
What ages would this book be appropriate for? I know a 12-year old who I'd love to introduce to the badass women of history, but I don't want it for her if its aimed at older audiences.

As long as she knows what she's ready for (or if you do), then she can read individual stories as she pleases. I believe I got this book when I was nine and felt prepared to read the last entry a few years ago, so you really can choose what you wish to read. Each story is rated with a number from 1-5 and with colours from green to yellow to red. At the front of the book, Porath explains the notes: he says that green should be thought of as PG, yellow as PG-13, and red as R. In addition to that, there are other icons that indicate tough topics that are in the story. For example, one of the first stories is a Norwegian fairy tale about a princess who rode a goat. Its maturity level is 1 and has no other icons. One of the later stories is about the well-known Joan of Arc. Its maturity level is 4, and its colour is orange. It also has an icon for violence and self-harm.
Pretty much, as long as she knows what she's ready for, full steam ahead! I hope this helps and if she does read it, I hope she enjoys it as much as I do!(less)
