I'm not sure how else she could depict the treatment of slaves, and I think kids kind of expect that, especially if it really happened.<BR/><BR/>I am looking for historical fiction that ten year old girls would enjoy. This sounds perfect! :)Anne Spollenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12915171740680350711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9054081895459294120.post-81009425998401746152008-11-25T14:27:00.000-06:002008-11-25T14:27:00.000-06:00Anne, the relationship between Isabel and Curzon i...Anne, the relationship between Isabel and Curzon isn't romantic/sexual at all. At least, not in volume 1. There's no content of that type. While not extremely brutal, some of the treatment of slaves and prisoners of war is frank. Again, not sexual, but some presence of violence, hunger and disease. I would call it mid-grade or tween.Marciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10006966091789130047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9054081895459294120.post-89832832909427681802008-11-25T11:06:00.000-06:002008-11-25T11:06:00.000-06:00What do you think the age range is that this book ...What do you think the age range is that this book would be appropriate for? Is there some "mature" stuff in it? Just wondering since I know a lot of kids who ask me about books (I shy away from recommending books with "mature" scenes)Anne Spollenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12915171740680350711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9054081895459294120.post-9975843433635298932008-11-24T14:00:00.000-06:002008-11-24T14:00:00.000-06:00Tabitha -- I'm not too sure we should be surprised...Tabitha -- I'm not too sure we should be surprised.
