Choosing Books for 11 yr old dd

[taptonaria27]

How do I assess the content of books for my dd? She got a kindle for Christmas but I am struggling to know whether the content will be appropriate, I am not overly precious but there are things I don't want her reading in too much detail yet

You could look at somewhere like lovereading4kids perhaps?
This is the disadvantage of buying via Amazon rather than a bookshop where they can advise you and will also shelve it by rough age group.

Google 'common sense media'.

It has reviews and content guidance for loads of books, films, games etc.

Read it first? That's what I do if I'm not sure. Mostly I read the reviews on Amazon if it's an author/book I'm not familiar with. DD is 10.5 and wanted to read hunger games so I read it first to see what I thought. Her kindle is linked into my Amazon account though which makes it much easier. I have also put the parental control things on her kindle and she can't buy directly from her kindle .

second lovereading4kids if you don't want to read everything first - is a great site.

Read reviews - My Book Corner, Book Bag, Guardian has a kids section too.
