[LM_NET] Question about Tangled Threads: A Hmong Girl's Story

[Rebecca Reitz <Rebreitz@AOL.COM>]

Dear Librarians,
Just read Tangled Threads: A Hmong Girl's Story by Pegi Deitz Shea. It is a  
recent donation to my K-5 library. 
I wonder about the scene where the 13 year old refugee girl endures an  
attempted rape in the refugee camp. A short scene but quite disturbing.   I'm 
thinking it would be too much for my fourth and fifth graders. Have you read  it? 
What do you think?
Thanks!
