Count Me In

I'm in my 40's and it made me cry. Make sure your child is mature enough to read it. My 10 year old read it and it was too much for her. She was scared by what happened to Papa and she remembered it for weeks after she'd finished the book; which is why I read it. I would say it's better for 7th grade and older. It has a good story and great message. The main characters are solid role models.
