1984 is more appropriate for adolescents than for kids under tweens. If anyone has read the ending, the imagery in Room 101 is pretty graphic. There are also sexually suggestive imagery in the middle of the book.
The best dystopian book for kids that warns of authoritarianism would be Fahrenheit 451 and Animal Farm imo. The latter was my introduction to George Orwell by my teacher just before I entered adolescence.
Tweens know what sex is. This is needlessly prudish. They all have seen graphic videos/images of people blown apart on the beaches of Normandy by this point.
I read The Giver in 4th grade, assigned reading mind you. Let’s unpack that one lmao
I did say 1984 is probably not apt for those under tween age. The cartoon post depicting the kids don’t look like tweens. They look like seven or eight years old or maybe even younger.
