[ISLMA-Share] Ellen Hopkins for middle school?

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

I have read several of her books, and I do not keep them in my middle school collection.  They are definitely geared for a high school audience, so I keep them in that building.  If middle school kids ask for them, I suggest they consider visiting their public library or wait until high school when they will be available to them.
