So, my advice would be to read it through yourself and then see if it's something you'd want your daughter to read -- if she can handle the language, I think she'd enjoy the story.

While <em>Strangers</em> isn't geared toward young adults, I can't see that your daughter couldn't enjoy it. There's really nothing in it that could be seen as objectionable, other than a little bit of violence when the main character gets into a couple of scrapes. I can't exactly recall, but there may be a couple of places where the language is questionable -- the main character's a 16 year old boy, after all -- but nothing terribly awful is springing to mind. My sister is 13 and also one heck of a reader, so I'll ask her to take a look at it this weekend and see what she thinks. Hi zibilee!

It sounds like it might be a good book for my daughter, who is 12. Do you think it would hold the interest of a girl that age? Like me, she is a voracious reader, and I am always looking for new titles for her. Is this a book targeted for a YA audience, or for adults?
