Then again, my mother insisted that she could fly as a kid, no joke.

I did think Cracker Jackson was a little heavy for my third grader, but it was on the accelerated reading list at her school. I guess whoever approved it for the list thought kids need to know about unattended children, domestic abuse and neglect. I complained about it not being age appropriate at the school and I could tell that neither the teacher nor the librarian had read the book. Of course my daughter had already read the book. She turned out ok so hopefully no lasting damage. BTW she adores all things Harry Potter!

Fran, absolutely i totally agree...
Gali, i was just curious cause i heard of some negative viewpoints re the book...personally i'm way past the " target " market age wise, so i can't comment on the book having never read it.......( it's not my genre either )
if i had little kids tho, i'd certainly check the book out as i always did back then BEFORE they'd be allowed to read it...
Carpe Diem!
