This book is still on our new book shelf, and I have not had a chance to deal with new books lately. Hopefully next week?

For him that stealeth a Book from this Library, let it change into a serpent in his hand and rend him. Let him be struck with Palsy, and all his Members blasted. Let him languish in Pain crying aloud for Mercy and let there be no sur-cease to his Agony till he sink in Dissolution. Let Bookworms gnaw his Entrails in token of the Worm that dieth not, and when at last he goeth to his final Punishment, let the flames of Hell consume him for ever and aye.

Alas. After 2 days no one has reponded to my query about the suitability of Pull of the Ocean" to upper elementary school aged children. Has no one yet read this book? Has anyone shared it with children of any age? What has been its reception in France, and what age groups read it there? I reread the opening chapters last night, and again was struck by the bleakness, and the harshness and unpleasantness of the parents -- I'm leaning toward thinking this would be better for middle school on up
(ages 12+) than for elementary school students.
Maybe everyone is on spring break.
I'd love to hear others' thoughts.
