If you have issues with the language, consult your child's teacher. Buy a copy of the book and Mark out the words you don't approve of, maybe, and explain to your child that "adult" language was used in those spots? Just a couple of suggestions if you're having issues with certain words.

I agree that the quality in this book are really good for kids; however, I think it depends on the child if they are able to handle it. The maturity of the child plays a role in whether they are able to handle the themes, plot, and language used in the book. I read this at a young age (6th grade) and was fine, but some of my peers did not appreciate it as much until they were older.llevine2934 wrote:The book had many important qualities that would be important to a kid growing up.

I always loved reading so getting into a book was nothing strange for me, but I definitely noticed that it really "drew in" the reluctant readers in my class as well.

- Latest Review: Toni the Superhero by R.D. Base
5th grade does seem a little young, but I was in 6th when my class went over it. It's a very powerful read for young students, it really captivated my entire class and we still had discussions of the book well into high school. It was my favorite book for a very long time. I don't think it impacted me negatively in any way, but if a child doesn't feel ready for the subject matter, they shouldn't be forced.

Thanks to this book, I can show those who doubt me that I don't need to follow their rules. If the shoe fits, I'mma wear it!

As a mother of a 9month old son and a strong reader at a young age I read this around 5th or 6th grade myself and I couldn't agree more with the statement above. Reading it along with your child not only lets you revisit a good classic but it gives your child a chance to understand from her parents what's right and wrong as well as ask any questions that she may not be comfortable asking a teacher in front of her peersE_Reads wrote: ↑28 Oct 2013, 00:57 My father read this to me when I was very young. (1st or 2nd grade) It is still my favorite book.
I would suggest reading it along with her. 5th graders today in her class are in all likelihood saying fouler things than in The Outsiders. It's unfortunate but true. I knew certain words weren't appropriate as I'm sure you've explained to your daughter.
I hope she doesn't miss out.
