Is this appropriate fr an 11 year old? My daughter has started reading it and it is not clear from the online reviews of there are mature topics- it appears there may be discussion of marital infidelity? HAs anyone read htis? Thanks

I read it for the first time about a year ago and my 16yr old just finished it.
I think 11 is very early to read it. Not just because of the infidelity. An emotional maturity is called for to delve into the limberlost world.

I was totally taken in while reading it. I loved it and then proceeded to read "Freckles" right after it.
Mama, you should read it!

Stephanie- thank you for your input- I was actually going to let her go ahead and read it until I saw your reply.
I'll bet I would enjoy reading it- but knowing me I'd become completely engrossed and no housework would get done for two weeks!

I concur with Stephanie. I loved it! My girls were older when they read it.
