I'm reading this as an adult after enjoying it a lot when I was somewhere between 10 and 13. I think it's a great book for that kind of age but as an adult it did feel very young. There were some nice themes of acceptance of your own flaws, realising that others don't necessarily see you the way you think they do and the importance of education. 

Overall I think it's still a good book, but not one I'd particularly recommend re reading as an adult.
