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!
Janine
