[ISLMA-Share] Ellen Hopkins for middle school?

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

My vote is definitely that they need to stay at the high school level.  In
the series is heavy drug use (sometimes with a "glorified" bent), rape,
father/daughter incest, other unhealthy sexual relationships, etc.  Best
left for the older students, in my opinion.

we don't need doctors because we have WebMD.*
