is "Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis" appropiate for an 11 year old? Plz reply as soon as possible,
I read them when I was in high school, really interesting book. I wouldn't suggest it for an 11 year old, because it does require some higher level thinking that most 11 year olds aren't capable of yet. It's witty, philosophical, and theological themes...well, I just can't imagine this for an 11 year old.
This is coming from a person who successfully read the entire Narnia series before hitting middle school, nearly the entire LOTR series starting in 6th grade, and someone who attempted to read and understand the Tao of Pooh before knowing the mysteries of puberty xd I was a huge bookworm as a kid, but reading and understanding the Screwtape Letters as a high schooler (to the extent that it was made and to get the humor) was a bit challenging, probably because it was beyond the normal realm of what I read.
>_> now that I think about it, I should probably read it again. I remember the sarcasm being quite amusing.
