This book has been in our middle school library, available to 6th, 7th and 8th graders, we are talking children as young as 11 years old. In addition, it is listed on the AR reading list as being a grade level 4.9 book. My 8 and 9 year old kids are reading at much higher grade levels than 4.9 and should not be subjected to the graphic sex depicted in this book... It is immoral and sick that we are allowing children access to this kind of material in our public schools.
