book age

[rhys daily <shadow at teuton_org>]

so

our flower girl is around 8, and i was trying to think of a good gift that
she won't outgrow.

while in abookstore, i saw a few Lois Lowry books, in particular - The
Giver. a personal favourite of mine since about that age.

i was 8 when i read it. i still read it. there was alsoa companion book
'Gathering Blue', and another one i hadn't seen before - The Silent Boy

i can't jsut judge what she is up to reading-wise based on what i read,
since i was reading chapter books when i was 4.

does anyone have an opinion?

they are good books - not cute or sweet, but about life and it's hardness,
and the beauty of choices.

anyway - i don't want to give her somethign stupid or too old for her
