Lynn:

I've also wondered about that.  I've assumed that
it meant those books were aimed at the 15-19 year
old crowd.  However, some may assume that it
means any teenager and so it would be deemed
appropriate for a 14 year old.

Lynn:

Personally, I think you handled that quite well. 
I think most kids appreciate a particular stance
when specific reasoning is explained to them. I'm
sure if your daughter had a great objection to
it, she would have discussed it with you further.
 After all, she came to you to ask if she could
read it rather than just reading it so she knows
that you have based past decisions on sound
reasoning with her well-being in mind.
