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 ?

I found it very interesting and I think this is a great book to read in 8th grade, and honestly, 8th graders should read this book its an extremely good book. Plus Elie was young when we experienced this. Just think about how good of a book this is for learning about the Holocaust, It's my favorite Holocaust book and I wish I read it in 8th grade.(less)
