[ISLMA-Share] Ready Player One

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

I was enthralled with it.  I actually think it's a great middle school
read, although there are a few F'bombs in it.  Plus some of the other
things you all mentioned in previous emails.  It's one of those books kids
find on their own and can't stop reading.  If you've got a boy non-reader
in middle school (who of us doesn't) many times this books pulls them out
of that rut.  I had my 6th grade son start it a few years back and he put
it down when he got to the swearing.  Didn't like it.  Picked it back up
again in 8th grade.  That's the kind of reader we want to cultivate!  :)
