OP
Reference: Watership Down and The Plague Dogs
"Definitely not teenager books, Keith. She needs a reasonably wide experience to understand, never mind enjoy, books such as these."
I didn't read it myself until college, but Watership Down is on the Fairfax county recommended reading list for rising eighth graders. I added The Plague Dogs because I think the books are comparable - with the exception noted by the next poster that it's probably more disturbing.
OTOH, it could be she innately understands that she needs a wider experience to appreciate them. I've mentioned WD to her several times and she's balked in each instance. Guess I'll give the Adams books a rest. When she's ready, though, I think she'll love them.
