Aloha -
One of my fifth grade teachers came to me with a question about Julie of
the Wolves. Her partner in fifth grade this year does not want to use it
because of the "spousal rape" (her words) scene.  The teacher has used it
for the past three years with no problem, and now is wondering if she
should use it again this year over the objections of the other teacher.

I checked the archives regarding possible challenges to Julie of the
Wolves - and did find one mention of a "rape scene" - but all I found were
questions asking for information - I did not come across a hit regarding
this.

I have multiple sources listing Julie of the Wolves as suitable for ages
10 up and grades 5 - 8 ... and my teacher would really like to use the
book again. Do you have any reinforcement - or word about other challenges
to the book regarding this section that would help her to feel better?
