Notes for Parents edit see section history

Reading Level: Ages 9-12

This book is great for ages 8 and up. There is no bad language in the book and nothing too romantic. The only thing that your child could need help with is the vocabulary and the old sayings/terms. I read this book when I young and LOVED it. My parents loved this book too. PLEASE IGNORE THE READING LEVEL BECAUSE THEY DID NOT HAVE A SIGN THAT SAID 8 AND UP!!!
