Henry rested his head on Thatcher's chest as Thatcher held him close, and Crow and Scarlet slipped away and started walking along the shore holding hands.' 'Sean and Carina were swaying together and kissing, to Seth's obvious dismay, and Samheed and Lani were kissing too. And Thatcher and Henry, and Florence and Talon and the other couples who were all sweaty and hanging on each other.' She didn't understand what was so great about being all lovey-dovey like Aaron and Kaylee. Now flipping to find those pages, I read another part that says on page 103, 'Fifer was concerned.

So for those who say it's for a 9 yr old, NO.

I read two pages and both contained information about bodies touching b/c now they were 14 years old and it was okay or normal, then again later about kissing and holding hands. This is my review of Dragon Curse, so just watch the road your kids are taking in this series of books by this author: There are no indications about sexual things on the current rating scale, but I BOLDLY disagree. That topic is still discussed in the follow up book Dragon Curse. Violence is a definite theme - the first book had to do with someone dying from shards of glass being broken all over them. I'd definitely suggest thumbing through as the age seems very low for this size and content. I was feeling uneasy, so I checked on here and thumbed through the book.

But now he wanted to go on to the next few in the series. My almost 8 yr old son is an avid reader and read the first book.
