<div dir="ltr">I'm new to my K-12 position (high school only before) and I work in a conservative district. Right now my policy is that I buy it for 7th/8th grade if it is recommended for those grades. If it's recommended for grades 9-12, I will only buy it if my clerk, a trusted teacher friend or I have actually read the book and can attest to it being appropriate for younger students. I have a small budget; I know this might not be practical if you're ordering larger numbers of books. I borrow copies from the local library if I want to read something before ordering.</div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, Nov 3, 2022 at 8:51 AM Mrs. Hamernick via AISLE <<a href="mailto:aisle@list.railslibraries.info">aisle@list.railslibraries.info</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:"trebuchet ms",sans-serif;font-size:large">Middle school here and I will put it on my shelf if it says grade 8 in any of the professional reviews.

I have an 8th grade only shelf for my more mature titles but I have "Trapped" on my regular circulation shelves. Now, it was bought before I started at this position, so I can't give my own opinion of the book, but I think some books get labeled as gr. 9-12 simply because the storyline involves kids that age.</div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, Nov 3, 2022 at 8:28 AM Kleckner, Stephanie via AISLE <<a href="mailto:aisle@list.railslibraries.info" target="_blank">aisle@list.railslibraries.info</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Hello!<div><br><div>I need some input, advice, thoughts, etc. please. :) When you order books for middle school, specifically 8th grade, do you order books that are a 9th - 12th grade interest level? Like this book for example, it doesn't sound inappropriate or anything. I'm just looking for what others do. Since it says 9th - 12th and it's about high school students would you order it for 8th graders?
