A great novel. I'm glad I was reminded of it. I think I will read it to the kids.
- prawn 9y agoI can't quite remember it in detail. What age kids would it be appropriate for?
- Symbiote 9y agoIt is (or was) on the official recommended leisure reading list for 7-10 year olds in England. More recent lists seem to put it for 11-12 year olds. ("Key Stage reading list watership down" is what I searched for, and sometimes it's stage 2, otherwise 3.) I think I was 7 or 8 when my mother / English teacher gave it to me.
- aidos 9y agoSomehow I'd more or less forgotten about it (even though I'd read it twice myself by age 9). So what we thinking, it'd be ok for a 6yo? How about a 4yo?
- kazagistar 9y agoThere is explicit violence, bloodshed, and death. Make your own judgement.
- aidos 9y agoHaha, yeah it doesn't sound great. It's hard though with these things. Ideally you need to see a snippet of the sort of it to judge yourself.
- kazagistar 9y agoI would just read it yourself, its quite an enjoyable read for adults.
- scallycat 9y agoThe website http://www.arbookfind.co.uk/default.aspx http://www.arbookfind.co.uk/default.aspx is sometime helpful for finding "appropriate ages". Schools use the system to help children find books matched to their reading level.
