Great for beginners on a budget
I ordered this years ago, but I still have it with me. Works great and still functions well. Some downsides is that because it is pressure sensitive, there is high chance that you'll scratch up the surface as your draw with the pen overtime. Another issue I've found is that because of the wires original form, with it winding and all, it will occasionally disconnect itself from the attached computer with even slight usage. Take my criticisms with a grain of salt, it's already 6 years old but I have found it to be an amazing gateway to digital art. It comes with an official version of Photoshop and a cute mini disc that lets you play around with the tablet, definitely a nice bonus. I also used this to play League of Legends at one point because I didn't have a mouse, so it's extremely versatile given that you can reassign the keys and the pen itself to do whatever you like in combination with your laptop. Definitely recommend to a kid who wants to start digital art given the price point compared to other tablets available.
