Kids ought to be able to read things they're interested without worrying about being censored by their parents.

This book is excellent and any intensity is handled well by the author. The book covers difficult subject matter in a sensitive way. The language is nothing your kids haven't heard or used before, even if you'd rather they didn't.

Books are the best way to introduce your kids to real-life situations. You should read it as well and then have a discussion! It's just so good, I'd hate for your kid(s) not to read it!(less)
