@Her_Doing @tiesa my first week in an elementary school library, I asked the librarian if they had Norby books and she told me that was a high school reading level, which I took to mean the library would only have overly-simple books

@LaurenZannah @tiesa

Wow, I'm surprised at that - I wouldn't think Norby would be out of the reach of at least grades 5 & 6, and I bet there would have been kids who stretched themselves to read them if they had been available. 😬

@Her_Doing @tiesa They did have some other science fiction and stuff, but yeah I didn’t think it was so outrageous 😂 I think I looked it up later and it was actually an 8th grade level which is totally not too much for an advanced elementary schooler

@LaurenZannah @tiesa

I really have very little sense of what reading levels are appropriate for what ages - but I did think rating this as high-school level was extreme. 😬
