buy it buyit buy it. for the nephew. Honestly, I think the book is advanced for the average 9 yr old. There are things that my 4th graders ( from my book club ) would just miss. -- I find amazon puts a lot of books in the 9-12 range that might be ok on a numerical reading level for that group , but interest or emotional level is higher or lower.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
They're saying that Candidate #5 is Jesse Jackson, Jr.
That was my first guess.

I've bought one copy for my 9 yr old nephew. I don't think it'll be beyond him. But what about a freakishly smart 12 yr old?
That press conference surprised me. I guess I was expecting a dry list of charges from the FBI instead of Patrick Fitzgerald talking about Lincoln rolling over in his grave.

My boyfriend has a huge mancrush on him now. (Or he already had it and it has now grown exponentially.)
