Caitlin asked Natasha Lester:

Hi Natasha! I love your books! They are so inspiring and beautifully written! I am a young reader, and was wondering if The Paris Orphan is appropriate for young teens. I read it a long time ago and can't remember exactly what relationships were made. I wanted to recommend it to a friend, but I'm not sure what age group it falls into. Is The Paris Orphan appropriate for young teens?

Natasha Lester Hi Cat, my daughter read it when she was 13. It does have a couple of sex scenes in it, as well as references to the rape of women by soldiers during the war. So I guess it depends on the person - I felt very comfortable with my 13 year old reading it but I guess others may consider that a little young. It's a bit hard to say exactly but I hope that info helps with your decision.
