If you have this title in your library or have read it, I would appreciate any insights you could give me about this book and student reaction to it. (community reaction, too, if you have had any.) I'm fairly certain that we will be facing a challenge of this book in our JH (8-9) library soon. A student told me today that her mother has our copy of the book and won't return it because "it has a bad part in it" and she doesn't want any other students to read it. (This same mother challenge Child of the Owl at the elementary school where I used to work--she lost the challenge.) This title was on the ALA Teens' Top 10 Nominee list this year (in fact it ended up being #9 on the Top 10 list.) I ordered it for our library but haven't had a chance to read it because it has been out since I put it on the shelf. I've ordered another copy so I can read it, but it hasn't come yet. I have a copy of our reconsideration form ready for the parent if and when she shows up at school, and am starting to look up additional reviews. I would appreciate words of wisdom from this group.
