Eyes of The Dragon. Welcome to the board.

Stephen King wrote "the Eyes of the Dragon" for his then young daughter, Naomi. I read it and I loved it. It would be a perfect choice for an 11 year old. It is just like an old fashioned fairy tale, only better.I am looking for suggestions on what would be a good first time read for my 11-year old. I am an avid fan and have read all Stephen King books, and one of my children would like to start their journey as well. My question..... which one would be most appropriate given my child's age? Thinking of adult content and language here. Thanks for any suggestions!
Precocious, huh.The first book I read at 13 or 14 was Salems' Lot.
I am impressed 12, good book to start with. Define "warped" .I started with 'Salem's Lot when I was about twelve. If you're going to read the world's greatest horror writer you might as well start with the scary crap. Of course a lot of people say my brain is warped so you might not want to listen to me.
I can't really define it. People insist that I'm just not right but they won't give me any details.I am impressed 12, good book to start with. Define "warped" .
It's that avatar picture - pretty creeepy - do you have "mother" issues?I can't really define it. People insist that I'm just not right but they won't give me any details.
I'm pretty sure Dragon is adult-language free, and think Tom Gordon is, too.The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon
The Eyes of the Dragon
The Talisman (depending on whether the section about Reverend Gardiner's Home for Wayward Boys might be too much)
I'm not sure that any of Stephen's books would be completely free of adult language, though.
