However it also has certain elements which are 'adult'. I think a mature 16-year-old would get a lot out of Declare. One who is very jumpy about moral content might get alarmed part way through and not see the larger picture. And some might not be mature enough.<BR/><BR/>How's this: If you think your son is of the right maturity and cast of mind to read Brideshead Revisited and see the greater moral point rather than being thrown off by the various moral failings of the characters, then he would probably also be fine reading Declare.Darwinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08572976822786862149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13522238.post-1144166870030493682006-04-04T12:07:00.000-04:002006-04-04T12:07:00.000-04:00Would this title be okay for a high schooler.
