Life happens to everyone whether adults or teens and for this reason, I believe mature teens too can learn from the experience of the three women.

They can definitely handle the issue raised. I mean, that's why they are mature, right? Plus, topics like this will help them form certain opinions and views. Also, I'm certain they will find them relatable.

Well, as a teen myself I think that it is appropiate. Of curse expirience in life is what makes you mature, however there are people who are young and can still internalize beyond what many adults do. Plus, this is a beautiful book so I would definitely recommend it.

Mature teens can handle the book as they are at an age where they are starting to discover themselves. This book can help them to learn about how to handle certain situations in life.

Yes, I think it is appropriate. As much as some of the issues are quite sensitive, it is important that young adults are not shielded from the truth but rather, exposed so that they develop resilience at a young age. Since the main character is roughly a teen, I think that will make it even more relatable.

Mature teens can deal with the circumstances certain way that adult cannot and the same goes for the adult. Maturity is not only by age but by experience, mature teens can relate to current generation problem more accurately because they are living it. Adults with their wisdom and experience can come up with some different kind of solution. Anyway, all comes down on which way work better.

Teens, as long as they are really matured, should not be hidden from matters like this. This way, they can gain knowledge from the stories and hardships of other people. They may end up avoiding certain mistakes as well.

[Wayne wayne]

Yes, mature teens can relate with Kaylala, and also understand the hardships that parents go through when raising children, especially those with single parents.

[Wangai Onyango]

You have described them as mature teens. This implies that they are mentally stable, sufficiently experienced and have enough foresight. I think that they are indeed very able to handle the issues seen in Kalayla.

I do believe mature teens can relate to this book very much in their own ways. Certain people mature faster based on their experiences and I don't think books should be strict on the age limit as many mature teens could handle a book like this.

I think the maturity definitely matters, such stories are not for the faint of heart, because it covers such important topics and scenarios.

[gacoapstick]

I do think mature teens is an appropriate age rating for this book. The important qualifier there is mature however. Older teenagers, especially ones who have gone through rough spots, could gain a lot from this book.

[jfrank4th]

Yes I think mature teens can handle this story. Although the topics discussed can be seen as grim, these are things that many people experience by the time they are teenagers and it is important for teens to have books available that they can relate to. There are valuable lessons to be taught in that family can be found through friends and that redemption can be found no matter how much time has passed.

I think this book is suitable for teens. Kalayla is only 11 years old, so kids her age can learn many things from her. Not that she is the perfect model, but even tweens can inspire themselves to be independent and thoughtful like she does.

[Heidadel]

The main characters of the book bring out the attributes associated with each age group hence bridging the age gaps. I believe mature teens can relate and have lessons to learn from this book because it is all encompassing and appropriate for all ages.
