Sandra Catchings asked this question about Night:

I am very upset that this book is on a list as appropriate for 14 year old 8th graders. Because it is , my son is being forced to read it by his school. My family is deeply effected by this book. My son is in emotional upheaval and very depressed. This book should not be listed as appropriate for this age group. It should be read at the high school level and up- and be lsited as so. How could a book like this end up ?

Talia Hadad Wilson 8th graders are the PERFECT age to read this book.
While the content of it may be disturbing - it should be.
Why hide it from them? If it was my classâ€¦m´Ç°ù±ð8th graders are the PERFECT age to read this book.
While the content of it may be disturbing - it should be.
Why hide it from them? If it was my class, I'd be sure to build up to the novel, let them know it is disturbing, as it should be. Allow them to feel what they feel. In essence, I think that is the purpose of this novel. If he wasn't disturbed, he couldn't have understood. Revel in the fact that he had an emotional response. (less)
