Title: Not for elementary students
Review: Like other mothers here, I unsuspectingly ordered this from my 8-yr-old's Scholastic catalog (which contains, among other things, "Corduroy" and "Junie B. Jones," to give an idea of the other offerings). I never thought anything so age-inappropriate would be offered there. I am certain this book is excellent reading for *middle-school* students, who are more emotionally mature and more world-wise and more ready to handle it. An 8-yr-old, however, is not yet ready for the horrors of these real-life stories. I'd suggest its target age range is maybe 12-15.
Is the review positive or negative?
