I am about to begin (with much excitement) our state book award program. I have been reading the books furiously and reading the reviews but have run out of time. We are a rural, conservative 6-8 school. I am not sure about the maturity levels of some of the remaining titles that are on the 7-12th grade list. Please respond to me with your opinion if you have read any of the following titles: Define Normal What My Mother Doesn't Know Sonny's War The Book of Fred The Stones of Mourning Creek Island Boyz: Short Stories Black Mirror One of my concerns is that whatever I purchase will go into the regular collection and will be available for 6th graders after the book award program ends in the spring. However, I guess I could pass any that are too mature on to the high school after they have voted. Thanks for your help. I love this job, but I never get enough reading time!
