Book Challenge - Stick Figure by Lori Gottlieb

[Yvonne Day <Yvonne.Day@WCDSB.EDU.ON.CA>]

Good Afternoon; if anyone out there can send me in the right direction =
to get reviews for this book I would greatly appreciate. I have searched =
the internet but can't come up with what I am looking for.  I want =
reviews that recommend this book for Grade 8 readers.  The issue is it =
has some swearing in it.  The students are telling me that this is =
nothing they haven't heard or read before but the teacher thinks the =
book should be pulled from the library.  I have just started reading it =
(have read about 50 pages) and don't feel there is a problem.  If we =
pull every book that has some swearing or something that someone objects =
to we will have no books left of the shelves.

Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
