We're having a difficult decision as to whether allow book #4 on our middle school shelves in our district. Numbers 1-3 were so tame, and I had no issue with a 6th through 8th grader reading them. I ordered two copies of #4 with my book order in the summer, before reading it obviously, because we all thought it would be fine.

For all those who read it, it really took on a different direction in the description of their relationship and all that good stuff. I was a bit disappointed because although I wanted to see the relationship go to the next level, for the kids I didn't want the description to be "that" adult. I can say I'll only allow 8th graders to check it out, but what if my assistant or a substitute allow a younger student to take it out? What if a younger brother or sister borrow it and the parents want to know why it's on our shelves in a middle school where 11 through 16yr olds go (yes, it's that wide in an age spread).

We don't have any policy on controversial books, so we have to be really careful because each principal in our 25 schools in our district can make their own decisions for their schools.

I really don't think #4 will be on our shelves. Sadly.

Anyone else have thoughts on how #4 took on a more mature direction, and whether they'd allow their kids to read them (depending on their ages)?

OOOOOOOOOOOH, I can't wait!! My future hubby actually offered to take me to see it opening night, I think that says a lot about him, and what he's willing to put up with in order to make me happy.

Ok so I totally shouldn't brag but I'm sooo flipping excited! I'm a manager at my movie theatre and we have to preview the movies before they are shown to the public to make sure nothing is wrong with them. So more than likely I'll be seeing it on Wednesday night after the theatre is closed and the public is gone. So I'll be one of two in the entire theatre. Woot woot!

That's a tough call Jenn. I don't have kids but I do know that each kid is different in their maturity level. I personally wouldn't feel comfortable with someone under 14 reading BD.

Is there a high demand for it? If you can't instill a 'under such and such age' policy for the book, I think keeping it off the shelf is a good idea.

Point kids to their public library for a copy.

Now I want to read book 4 I got until the end of book 3 then sort of got in a slump.

I'll be honest, caseysmom, it wasn't my favorite out of all of them.
