How old is Jem?!

Does it ever really say how old Jem is?

Yeah, first line of the story says "When he was nearly 13, my brother Jem broke his arm." (3)This should give you some idae of his age.

By the time Scout is in second grade, he is in sixth, so I would guess that he is 12 or 13.

There are lots of clues. The book is one big flashback that really starts the summer that Dill arrives in chapter 1 when Scout is nearly 6 and Jem is 4 years her senior.
