Just yesturday I was checking if our library system had any more in the series. To my delight they did so I'll be reading the next 2 soon. "Peter" saw the book covers and asked if he could read the books too. I decided to go ahead and let him. We have talked about abortion recently and when we read the culling part he made the connection right away. I'm a bit unsure how he will take the animal sacrifice part towards the end of the book but I think at 10 with some parental guidance it will be alright. I will say that of the 3 books I've read the first was the darkest. The other two had battles and adventures but not the same evil you see in the first, more of a Narnia kind of evil.Meadowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10396196416997261902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640846201971673514.post-61141830348278188652012-07-18T22:55:33.733-04:002012-07-18T22:55:33.733-04:00This is so beautiful!!

I wasn't there when Kevin read the book to her so I don't know if he explained it or not - I'm thinking he did, but with that he softened it quite a bit.Jill Foleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15919221814694982320noreply@blogger.com
