Just like "Roller Girl," the unique story and colorful art in "All's Faire" does not fail to please—be the reader a young person or even an adult. I've purchased this for my daughter who is younger than the intended audience (probably 11-14). The audience this story is geared to is about a year or two older than that in "Roller Girl." There's nothing that I'd consider inappropriate, but it is a good idea for a parent to read ahead if it is to be given to a younger child just so you can discuss it with your child if they have questions.
It is a coming-of-age story about a homeschooler (Imogene) who enters public school for the first time, and the struggles she faces to fit in, but keep her identity and be a good person. What I love best about the story is how Impy makes some pretty large mistakes (from hurting people she cares about to getting bad grades in science class where she has personality conflicts with her teacher), but she realizes that making mistakes is part of being a human being and has power to change her present and future to make right by those she hurt (including herself). This self-acceptance is beautiful and exactly what all young people need—especially girls.
This situation can really apply to any child—especially a young person entering a new school (be it because they moved, decided to stop homeschooling and/or shifted up from elementary to junior high/middle). I will be giving it to my daughter as a Christmas gift and expect she will love it—since she was a very big fan of "Roller Girl."

This is definitely not appropriate for 5th and 6th graders as I had originally thought. Had a student bring this up to me with the page opened to the word “sex”. I was shocked as AR recommended this book for 4th-8th graders. Will research more closely from now on!
