Ruf based her book on a very very small sample of children so don't get too hung up on that or DD's reading. It may not be her interest right now.

Doesn't sound like there is anything lost in making the application. There are no simple answers but keeping your options open is always a good idea. If there is one thing about kids, they are constantly changing and surprising you.

Good luck with your decision.
