I’ve loved the stranger ever since I was a pre-teen. Growing up in Port Orchard out in the sticks it’s pretty easy to have a sheltered childhood – especially if you have my folks to raise you.
At 12 and 13 reading the Stranger, I learned a lot about what was coming down the pipeline in a couple years – and having that knowledge helped me stay out of some trouble.
The Stranger is a little risque for kids 12 and under, but today’s kids are a lot different than kids were even when I was one (and I’m not that old just yet…)they’re like little tiny grown ups running around.
I would applaud your child and be happy for asking you about what something was, so you could “give it to him straight” instead of him having to sneak the answer from the internet.
