Notes From the Library

We wanted to bring to your attention a recent trend we’ve noticed at the school: an increase in middle school students reading and discussing books that contain extremely mature content. Last year, we sent out a notice about the book Icebreaker by Hannah Grace, which has gained popularity among teens through platforms like TikTok, despite being an adult romance novel with very explicit content.

As parents, we understand it can be challenging to navigate book choices, especially with the influence of social media. If you ever have questions or concerns about the appropriateness of a book for your child’s age, we recommend using Common Sense Media (commonsensemedia.org) as a helpful resource. They provide detailed reviews and age ratings for books, movies, and other media.
