Title: Surprised to find a murder of a child in a children's book
Review: Does anyone else think it's completely inappropriate to have a "little girl" murdered off in a children's book? And a Newbery winner at that? I'm about halfway through this book (the audio version) with my kids (7 & 8) when we hear about a little girl that's been murdered and her body found in a salt marsh - all before I could get to the pause button on the CD player. Now we have to live with this image. We've been thoroughly enjoying the story until now, but now I'm distrustful about this author's judgement. I think we'll bring it back to the library...
