Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: I think Steven King's work is way too frightening for an 11 year old!. That's not even considering the language, sex, and extreme violence!. also, the incredible length of a lot of his work is off putting and possibly frustrating for one so young!. I like King and I don't blame you for wanting to share his work, but I would wait until they are older!. Www@QuestionHome@Com His books are most definitely NOT appropriate for an 11 year old !!! Instead try these: Alex Rider series by Anthony Horowitz Hatchet by Gary Paulsen Hoot by Carl Hiaasen Holes by Louis Sachar Farmer Boy by Laura Ingalls Wilder Treasure Island and Kidnapped by Robert Louis Stevenson Hardy Boy mysteries Fablehaven series by Brandon Mull Inkheart series by Cornelia Funke The Chronicles of Narnia by CS Lewis The Hobbit by JRR Tolkien Eragon, Eldest, and Brisingr by Christopher Paolini Harry Potter series The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark TwainWww@QuestionHome@Com sorry but NONE that i know of, all of his books that i read contain extreme language and adult themes i would stick with bruce coville for an 11 year oldWww@QuestionHome@Com Why such stuff at this very young age when there are millions of other stuffs remaining unread!? There is nothing to think!. Choose what you think more good and decent at this age and encourage him/her to read!.Www@QuestionHome@Com |
