challenged book

[Karen <kruch@AIS.NET>]

After returning to school after an extended weekend due to a death in the
family, it was a bit nerve wracking to discover soon after I arrived that
all of our computers had somehow kicked themselves off the network.  But
that was a fixable problem -- I even managed not to hyperventilate when 3
classes of students walked in for unplanned research.   Not so "fixable,"
however, and even more nerve wracking was the memo left for me on my desk
from the principal that read simply, "We have a book challenge!  Please
see
me."

The book is On the Devil's Court by Carl Deuker.  The mother objects to
the "soul selling to the devil" concept.  This isn't a "maybe" challenge;
it's begun.  So, friends, any help you can send my way regarding this
book,
other challenges you may know of regarding it, or just some plain "been
there, done that" advice or consolation would be gratefully appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
