I was counting the pregnancy and miscarriage as PG, and I wasn't even thinking about leaving out the emotions. It's basically just the orgasms and techniques that I don't want to read to her (and the explicit parts of the bandit's assault on Fawn), but I'm not a skilled enough reader/editor to do the emotions justice while carefully skipping or replacing half the text for several pages.
She's several years younger than your target audience, but she reads at a high school level. I read her most of _Watership Down_ at age 3-4 and she understood a lot of it. And I've recently read her most of Pen and Des - I had to explain what "crab lice" were, but she enjoyed the humor of Adelis being way too protective of the sensibilities of an army widow.
Thinking about it more, I guess pregnancy wouldn't count as PG in some parts of the US - though that seems silly to me. She loves the Snake Discovery channel on YouTube, much of which is about breeding snakes. They keep it G-rated, but she's familiar with the genetics of pregnancy, and that it takes two. So the fact that Sunny got Fawn pregnant wouldn't be problematic.
I guess it was kind of a silly request - I'll just do my best to convey as much of the books as possible. (BTW I'm also reading her several of T. Kingfisher's books, and talking about others. And she drew a connection between Kingfisher's demons, your demons - and the Hiver from Tiffany Aching, which I hadn't noticed but I thought was pretty cool when she pointed it out.)
