I concur. If teens are not allowed to read about this kind of stuff, where will they learn it? It is better for them to read about sex and alcoholism from a book chosen by their parents than other ways. Even if they pick the book up themselves that is good.Cristal2408 wrote: ↑26 Apr 2018, 19:25I agree. The main character himself is a teenager which facilitates the understanding of the message in the book. It could be read in a literature class in high school so the context and themes of the wisdom of age can be better analyzed. I think it is still not appropriate for children (12 under), as it is the kind of book where the older the better.

Yeah, I think difficult topics like this are really best for younger audiences when they're read in some sort of community / when there's open discussion around them to help process the harder parts and really get to the meaningful takeaways that can be gotten. I wonder if this sort of reading is helpful or hurtful to students who have dealt with problems similar to those in the book... I'd think it would provide a vehicle for processing through their experiences, but I don't really know.Cristal2408 wrote: ↑26 Apr 2018, 19:25I agree.

I equally agree with this.Fuzzy456 wrote: ↑22 May 2018, 05:42 I would suggest 16 years and older. We are living in a very fast paced society these days with social media and technology. I think a 16 year old is quite able to understand this topic and may even be an eye opener to one of their friends that may be being abused.

Yes, a high school student will find this book to be fine.arcie72 wrote: ↑14 May 2018, 03:03 Many children younger than a teenager go through extreme hardships that makes them grow up to fast. Some are broken but most persevere as children are resilient. With that said, I would recommend this book for High School sophomores and above with a disclaimer to the students so they can prepare themselves mentally/emotionally if these are triggers for them.
