My husband's school district sent out a "warning letter" to families. There have been several teenage suicides in the past few years.

Carnation, it seems like a poor choice for a summer reading list -- I wouldn't want kids reading it on their own over the summer, without access to teachers or other trusted adults they could confide in if they wanted to share that they were also struggling with depression. My husband's district was worried about the suicidal ideation that andthen mentions.
