[LM_NET] TAR: The Hunger Games

[Nicole Redmond <nredmond@ROCKWALLISD.ORG>]

My school district has been asked to reconsider the book THE HUNGER GAMES by 
Suzanne Collins. The "challenger" has asked that the book be removed from all 
school libraries in the district. I do not know what the formal complaints are, but 
having read the book, I am assuming violence (?).

Has anyone encountered issues with this book? Any advice specific to this book?

Thanks for the help,
