eldertree Member E Joined: Feb 2010 Posts: 224 Gulf coast	Originally Posted by Quantum2003 I have to say that I don't completely trust these various rating systems. I find it odd that the Percy Jackson books are consider 4th grade while the Wimpy Kid books are 5th grade, especially when you compare them to other fifth grade books like Chronicle of Narnia and the early Harry Potter books. Half of the second graders in DD/DS class last year were addicted to the Wimpy Kid books and reading them early in the school year. Amazon lists DOAWK for ages seven and up. School Library Journal calls it "grades 5-8". Personally, my experience skews somewhere in the middle. Most of the kids I know who read it did so around 3rd-4th grade. Neither of my kids were into them; ds was more of a classic sci fi fan, and dd...well...her taste is kind of odd. She's the one who was reading Sylvia Plath in elementary school. (I blame her older sister.) "I love it when you two impersonate earthlings."
