In my opinion, I think "The Shepherd's Granddaughter should not be removed from Red Maple. Just because an organization dislikes its content, it does not mean everyone doesn't want to read it or anything. Anybody should be allowed to choose if "The Shepherd's Granddaughter" should be in Red Maple.
After I have read the letter, I felt that the parent does not really understand the book, for anything in the book may have happened before, just that you don't know it...
Also, anybody should be able to choose if "The Shepherd's Granddaughter" should be allowed in school libraries, and as middle school students, I believe that we are definitely old enough to choose what books are good or not good for ourselves. If we don't know, then we will ask our teachers. They are older than us, and should know, but the decision still remains with us, for adults will only give information, but cannot help us make up our minds.
Everybody has the right to do what they want, and cannot stop us if we want to read "The Shepherd's Granddaughter."
