All -- This week I received Emily Isler's *AfterMath* (CarolRhoda/Lerner) for review. It's about a 12-year old in a town that has had a mass school shooting.
I'm still working out what to say in the review. But in light of the Oxford, Michigan murders, it has added impact. If you have it, you might consider where it lives on your shelves. Maybe move it to the Adult fiction section. The publisher says it's for 5th-8th graders. I think that's problematic (at best). Fred Isaac Oakland, CA
