[aisle] Blended by Sharon Draper

[HELEN BIBLER]

I have it in my K-5, and have read it. It circulates regularly and no one has objected.

Not sure if you read it but it deals with racism, & profiling.  The main character in the book gets shot because she reaches for her cell phone & the police thinks she (11 yr old) has a gun.  I thought it was a good book, just not sure if it was 4th & 5th grade material. “
