So what books does the school have in his 100-book-challenge bag? I can't imagine not allowing a Magic Tree House book? Or Secrets of Droon? Seriously???

Our schools always had copies of those books in our school library - does the teacher just not have any in her room so the other kids can't choose them, or are they a higher level than the other kids, but the teacher is afraid the kids will want to read them anyway? I don't really understand that personally - I have a child who is a struggling reader (4th grader) and the kids in her class read whatever they want to during independent reading time - most of the kids in her class are very advanced readers and reading things there is no way she's ready for, but there aren't any issues with it - not with the teacher, and not with the kids either.

Argh!
