As I read all these post and share a little bit of respect for all that has put a word in, I would like to say that it is the parents choice on which books their children are allowed to read. Not the voice of others. I also have a 5th grader that is gifted in reading and has read many books at 12th grade level. His school though is behind his reading ability and so am I. Reading takes us to places that we couldn't imagine without our creative authors. Thank goodness we live in a country that allows us to be able to make our own choices. If the librarian is restricting your son, then you should go and talk to the librarian or principal to clear the matter up. Our teachers are always willing to listen to us and want input so they can better help our children. Sometimes you will have difficult ones, but majority are very willing to support your child. Good luck! Have a great day and remember our children always come first!
