Charlotte Holmes is quite a clever young lady - a flawed but real role model potentially. Trigger Warning: Touches some borderline mature (mentions sex) issues but never in any great or graphic detail apparently - not that I expect our 11 year old to really know what that is LOL Become what you are

I'm not sure what age group would like it, but the site in the link says ten and up. https://www.commonsensemedia.org/book-reviews/the-princess-bride Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, if only one remembers to turn on the light.
