[AISLE-Share] Drama by Raina Telgemeier

We have two copies in our k-5 school, and my very first year as a librarian
(6 years ago) we had a formal challenge on the book from a third grade
family.  We went through the challenge process, and it was decided to keep
the book in our collection. I probably still have the paperwork on the
challenge if you need it.  Afterwards, we only allowed grades 4 and 5 to
check it out and recently lifted that stipulation.

Hope this helps!
