The Hobbit was written as a kids book anyway. I read it when I was 8. Go for it. As far as fellowship of the rings if you can get to rivendell you’re Scott free.

Start with the Hobbit; see how it goes. My son and I read it together at ten. Then he went on to read LOTR.

I read the Hobbit when I was 11 or 12 I think, but I think a 10 year old would be ok. Then again, I read The Hunger Games with my kids when my youngest was in 1st grade lol

I agree with @Tiffany, start with The Hobbit and see how she handles it. Personally, I think LotR would be ok for a 10 year old, but different parents have different feelings about what is ok for their child to read. You know her abilities and maturity level better than anyone. Go with your “Mommy Instinct”. ?

I think it’s quite astonishing…and familiar to me.

When I was that age, I was already reading Poe

Thanks everyone. I was reading advanced books at that age too… but I think my daughter is a little more sheltered than I was. And I understood things way differently then.
