I don't have any older children (just a 2 year old), but was a HS English teacher. I agree with the bookstore employee. I would say that your once your child starts "noticing" the opposite sex, they will be ready for this book. In addition to the fantasy and adventure they are also "coming of age" books.
My son was 9 when he started them, but I really think 8 might even be ok. He loves the fact that he knows everything about the locations and constantly asks me park questions while reading. He's loving #2 now...almost finished!Can I ask how old your kids were when they started reading the Kingdom Keepers books? I thought my DS7 would enjoy them, but when I read the back to him he said he was confused already and wasn't interested. He LOVES all things regarding Disney World, but said he just didn't think he'd "get" the book. An employee at Borders told me they're more for 10-12 year olds, more along the lines of Harry Potter as far as reading level. What do you think?
