I had an amazing fifth grade teacher who had no sense of what was "appropriate" reading for a fifth grader. I remember the first two books we read that year were Exodus and Gone with the Wind; he gave us a whole week to read each and then grilled us on the content. I am confident my classmates are the only living people to read historian Bruce Catton's centennial Civil War trilogy for an assignment in elementary school. (I realize all of these books are controversial -- but the point is that none are written for ten year olds...)
