And yes, I think your response is excellent. I read Dickens at 9 and Narnia at 15. I don't think reading them "in the wrong order" did me any harm.
Also, one of my favorite conversations with my dad occurred on my way home from summer camp one year. I'd read Gone with the Wind and To Kill a Mockingbird that summer and we discussed everything from legalized segregation -- which had only ended a few years before -- to future racial issues.
