[LM_NET] BOOK CHALLENGE: Murder at Midnight by AVI

[Laura Cornwall <lcornwall@RUTLANDHS.K12.VT.US>]

I was hoping someone could offer some insight on a book I'm having challenged.  It 
is Murder at Midnight by AVI.  I have a parent of a third grader (we are a 3-6 
school) who is demanding that we take the book off the shelves and wants to talk to 
the school board etc.  She thinks it is too graphically violent.  It is a new 
book that we just got through our Junior Library Guild subscription.  This is my 
second year and first challenge, so any tips would be appreciated.  The principal 
is supportive and is getting her the formal steps to challenge the book.
Thanks,Laura Cornwall
