Don't get the book with Pictures
I guess I would probably say that it's a teen book, but I had the one with graphic pictures of creepy monsters, but I guess if you had the one without all the scary pics it would be fun to read aloud. "Ach crivins!"

The Wee Free Men
This book is a really interesting book. There is hardly any swearing or inappropriate language used and when there is it is used in a made up language that some of the characters speak.

Great fantasy for young adults
For kids that enjoy the fantasy genre, this book is a great read. Tiffany's a great character who ends up on top and stays the course, but is scared and unsure the whole time - pretty much like reality. As always, Terry Pratchett has witty dialogue, strong characters, and excellent comedic timing!

Great book. Not for 10yr olds
It`s definitly not for 10 year olds. Not because of the wrong messages( The alcohol refrences are quite funny) but because it`s a difficult book to read.

FABULOUS read-aloud book for 3rd-5th graders
While it does portray some of the characters drinking and fighting a little bit, it shows it as something that makes them act like idiots and certainly doesn't glamorize it at all. Tiffany is a GREAT role model in that she thinks for herself and doesn't allow herself to be pigeonholed.
