Wow. One Hundred Years of Solitude at age 9? I think I agree more with you than I disagree; although, I wasn't suggesting to "forbid" students in any way. Rather, I was wondering outloud what benefit is gained by young readers when they read particular books of a certain maturity. It's hard to make a reading choice for an entire grade level since so many kids are at so many difference places.
I totally agree with you, and I think it's imposible to choose a mature book for children without losing some of them, because obviously all have differnt levels; I remember when I was 15 and had to read Vargas Llosa's The city and the dogs and the mothers of a group of my classmates complained to my school because the book was too mature (sexually) for their daughters. I just think that you have to let kids grow sometime.
I think that grade does matter when reading books. If you read a book the book has a theme that applies to the age of the reader.
