I'm looking for some books to download from the library for dd13's Nook before she heads out for a summer camp. On this list that I came across recently (
http://www.eschoolnews.com/2012/05/04/10-books-for-high-school-summer-reading/) one of the books they suggest for high schoolers in the Color Purple. Our library has it available as a download.
I saw the movie years ago and do recall that there were some difficult parts. Has anyone read this and do you think that it would be inappropriate for an older 13 y/o who will be in 10th grade in the fall? FWIW, she's read the Bell Jar and some other books with challenging themes in years past.
