Hi Fred, I also have read Aftermath by Emily Barth Isler and I disagree with the idea that it should be on the adult shelf. The kids are living through the nightmare of school shootings, we aren't protecting them by keeping them from reading about it. This is a book that can help them feel seen and process grief. Can you explain what your concerns are? Thanks, Heidi
