If I ask you "what does age-appropriate mean", please don't respond by saying "the right level for her actual age". See, if I knew what you considered to be "the right level for her age", I wouldn't have asked that question in the first place!

Edit: If you're curious, I'm mostly miffed because (mihi) she didn't answer my question so much as rephrase her original statement - but if I'd known what her original statement meant to begin with, I would not have had to ask the question. I usually don't ask leading questions like that just for fun.

Is there an appropriate chronological age? I mean maybe she's not ready for Lolita or Lady Chatterly's Lover, but at 13 I was reading what was considered advanced for my age. Of course, now, I read YA. I don't think you can say...okay 13 year olds read x and y. Judy Blume might bore her or excite her. Jane Eyre might catch her imagination or put her to sleep.

For all that, she might be better off with a decent magazine subscription, but even then - what is she interested in?
