Re: [LM_NET] Da Vinci code?

["Brisco, Shonda" <briscos@TRINITYVALLEYSCHOOL.ORG>]

I have it available in the MS / US (middle and upper school collection)
library but I would not suggest that students in middle school read this
book.  There is much to be digested and a bit of content that might
cause some problems. (Even some adults have problems with this
novel.....)

I don't have a problem with my students in grades 10-12 reading it if
they want to (and most do), but for the younger students, there are
still too many GOOD things out there to read to be pointing them to
adult fiction right now.

Just my opinion.

I get a lot of requests for this title from my 7th & 8th graders. Do any
of you have this in your middle school collections?
