There are three categories of people: Unwanteds(who get Purged), Wanteds, and Necessaries. If you have been caught doing something creative, you will be Purged.

The land of Quill actively suppresses creativity and emotions. I probably would have read it when I was eight or nine if I knew about it. I discovered this series when I was ten years old, and I loved it. I put 8 and up only because of the battle at the end, which may be scary for seven and six year olds, but it's your child. There is a bit of a battle towards the end that may be scary for younger children, but personally, I feel that when you read a book to a child it is not as scary as watching a movie. If you've read Harry Potter or the Land of Stories, this isn't scary. No idea why people are saying this is 10 and up- I put it 7 and up because it has lots of positive messages and only a little violence, but excellent story!!!! I think this story would encourage lots of kids that reading is fun and would be a great book club book.įirst, let me say that it is not very scary at all.

This is one of my favorite series of all time.
