[CASL-L] Bear Town by Fredrik Bachman

[LaPlante, Casey]

Martha--

We have it here at GMHS, as well as the sequels, and we've never
encountered any issues. It was a HS Level Nutmeg nominee several years ago.
That being said, I agree with the others that classroom teachers should be
prepared to discuss sexual violence and trauma, as well as bullying.
