|comment= Hi,
My daughter wants to read this book, I think because she also fell in love with the shoes on the cover! However she is only 8½ and the book has a rating of 11+.
Can you tell me what makes it unsuitable for a mature almost 9 year old?
Thanks.

It's a litle while since I read the book, but I don't remember any overt sexual references and I did pass the book on to my granddaughter who would have been about a year older than your daughter. She didn't make any remark about it so I suspect that quite a few of the plot lines about relationships went over her head.
 
However she has loved - and keeps rereading - Cathy Cassidy's series [[Cherry Crush: The Chocolate Box Girls by Cathy Cassidy|The Chocolate Box Girls]] which is pitched at a ''slightly'' younger age group (and in a more natural setting) but deals with the questions of relationships and friendships in a mature way.
