I fell in love with it, and feel like middle schoolers don't need to be sheltered from topics that adults may deem too mature. Maybe I only believe this because I was reading middle school level books in elementary school, but I do believe that it is great for middle schoolers to see these kinds of books, and to know what goes on in the world.
