[CASL-L] Fighting Words

[Krista Surprenant]

It is on the Nutmeg list for middle grades, which for the purpose of the Nutmeg is grades 7-8 if that helps! It has been a while since I read it, but perhaps sticking to those grade levels would help-

Because of the way Della keeps telling the reader that she’s not ready to share what happened until she IS, I think 2nd semester 6th grade could handle it. But you know your kids

Hi all. Hope your summer's been grand!

I finally read Kim Brubaker Bradley's title, "Fighting Words," a 2024 MS Nutmeg nominee, thinking it might be a book club title. The content is essential.. but heavy. Though the author references her own experience and wanting to write something for 10-year-olds, I'm thinking nothing under 8th grade. If familiar, please share your thoughts.

Thank you!
