Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I read the first 2 books as a kid and loved them. I agree they are a bit out of date now, but my son thoroughly enjoyed the first 4 books. Would give 5 stars for my kid's enjoyment of these 4. Fortunately, we still read with him each evening because Book 5, Many Waters, is a departure from the other books in its maturity level. SPOILER - But important for parents if interested: I did not see this info in any reviews here..... As mentioned, book 5 is written for a more mature audience than my 10 year old son. I did not preview this book nor read other review sites before launching into it thinking it was similar to the first 4. Yes, it has a definite religious theme to it, but that is not the big deal to me.... Some reviews on other sites refer to the book as a 'coming of age' book. I would more describe it as a sexual awakening. While not explicit, there is no question that it is referring to sex between characters, seduction, and there is a mention of bare boobs. The boob thing didn't freak me out, but the material escalates from there. We have continued to read it to my son with some explanations/some glossing over but it gets super cringy in parts. My husbamd and I had to discuss stopping reading it and saving it for a year or two. I don't consider myself a prudish person, but I was not quite ready for this sort of material for my 10 year old boy. Obviously, I don't think it is absolutely horrible and I feel my son is at (or beyond) the age for these discussions. I do feel that other parents may want to be aware of this information.
