He was really upset about his country being bad by dropping the atomic bombs on Japan. I donâ€™t like how his teacher sold that story to him.

I really donâ€™t mind him learning Japans side of the story, but he also needs to be shown Americaâ€™s side, and the teacher needs to keep her own opinions out of it.

Iâ€™ll find out what the serial killer story was. He could not sleep that night. He was worried about a serial killer coming into our house. He woke me up all night saying he was afraid.

My son loves to read (He reads all the Young Jedi books and stuff like that) I keep tabs on what he reads at home, but I can't at school. So you think these two books are okay for 10 year olds, or should they have waited until they are 12 or 13?
