[aisle] Himawari House

[Dawn Scuderi]

Hi Megan,

I have a few manga that have very brief nudity... like a person in a
bathtub with steam and bubbles.  Think Komi can't Communicate.  *Himawari
House *reviews for either 13 and up or 9th grade and up.  That is a tough
call.

Are kids asking for it? and how much are you willing to defend it?

I have The Promised Neverland and it is really violent.  But kids have
asked repeatedly for it and they are walking around with copies from
home... so...

By the way, we are celebrating Banned Book Week with a huge display and
have already had at least 1 complaint.  Sometimes you have to pick that
hill to die on.

Good luck,

Dawn
Summit Hill 161 Jr High.
