I'm currently reading Intuition Pumps, and while it is an admirably clear book, I have a hard time believing that any but the most exceptional 12 year olds will be able to follow it. Perhaps I'm underestimating the intellect of 12 year olds, since I don't know any, but the minimum level to which I would recommend Intuition Pumps is "bright high school student".
At the very least, I'd suggest HPMOR before Dennett. Also probably Raymond Smullyan, and Martin Gardner's "Aha!" books.
EDIT: Actually, I'd forgotten how adult some parts of HPMOR are, like the whole rape thing. So, yeah, I probably would not recommend that for kids either.
Ordered them. Thanks!
