EXPLANATION:

'Amanda' is a poem about a small school girl. The poet Robin Klein, describes her as a typical school girl attributes to her all the mannerism and behaviour expected of a normal school kid.  

From the description of Amanda the reader can guess her age to be not more than 11 years and not less than nine. Amanda eats chocolates and dreams of being a mermaid. She has acne on her face the signs of nascent adolescence. From these aspects it can be inferred that she must be about ten to eleven years.
