[CALIBK12] Breaking Dawn

[Spielman, Kathy]

Scholastic will carry The Host.
I have also decided not to carry Breaking Dawn in our middle school. I'm sure students will be disappointed, but they can get it at the public library. The scene breaking the furniture during their lovemaking is probably too much for these kids.

In line with an earlier thread, I received notice today from Scholastic that they would not be carrying Breaking Dawn (Stephenie Meyer) in our upcoming book fair. While it was supposed to be offered, the publisher would not permit anyone to preview the book before it was published. When Scholastic was finally able to read it, they determined that "...it was not a good fit for our middle school audience."

Having looked at it, I tend to agree.
