Notes for Parents edit
Reading Level: AdultsAlso for kids,Another opinion: I would not allow my very mature 9 yr old to read this because the author's point of view and personal struggles are beyond what I would want her to try to process. There are physical injuries (accidents) that might be too much. I think parents should read it first.
