[LM_NET] HIT: Cirque du freak appropriate for Elem?

[Barb Engvall <macbarb@CHARTER.NET>]

Thanks to those who took the time out of their busy Saturday to respond
to my original question below. You all agree, as I suspected, that the
Cirque du Freak series is NOT suitable for anything below 5th or even
6th grade.

Thanks again!
