[LM_NET] Criss Cross--Appropriate for 4th & 5th?

[Kris Detmer <Kdetmer@COLUMBIA.K12.MO.US>]

I am considering ordering this year's Newbery winner _Criss Cross_ for our 
elementary library, and I noted that the main characters are in their teens.  Can 
those of you who have read the book please give me some guidance as to whether it 
would be appropriate for 4th and 5th graders (and even the occasional precocious 
3rd grader)?

Thanks!

Kris
