Query: Curious mother checks out this Yearling title paperback.....

Sorely disappointed that this book is considered age-appropriate for ages 9 to 12. I can appreciate the fantasy genre. However, half-human walking rodents marching in mass, eating everything in sight, including flesh from humans until the point of death seems past the point of fantasy genre for the intended audience age. I also thought the medieval terminology necessary for the plot and setting of the story will require the age group of 9 to 12 to have a very extensive vocabulary to totally understand the book. I cannot imagine a teacher of this age group requiring this particular book as a possible read. There are too many other quality reading available.
