It was really not that long ago that children were considered adults at puberty which isn't generally that much older than 11. Now days we like to pretend children remain children until 18 to 21.
I think most children process and understand a lot more than we give them credit for. What they sometimes lack is the ability to articulate it back to us in a way that makes it clear they do understand it.
Personally I would have no problem with an 11 year old reading EG. Particularly if their parents, like the OP, took enough of an interest to talk to them about it.
