This book was assigned to my third grade son to read and then complete a book report. I have read every page with him and although it is a good story there is a lot of name calling in the book. I am not sure what this adds to the story or what lesson it teaches. I feel as though the dialog could have been handled completly different. I also had a problem with one characters who continued wanting to put a hex on the other characters. How do you handle, "Mom, what is a hex and why does that girl want to do that to the other girl?" I have not shared my opinions with my son. I only confirm his feelings when he suggests how a character should have talked to their peer instead of insulting them or name calling. I am very interested how his book report turns out.

Please give us something of quality to read for children at this reading level. I think there is enough name calling in our regular day, we do not need it when we are curled up in our favorite spot reading with our children.
