Flowers for Algernon

I had a 5th grader ask for Flowers for Algernon today. We don't have it, but I didn't know if it was even something I should offer to ILL for a 5th grader. I don't remember it all that well...all I remember is that Charlie gets smart, gets dumb again, and then dies...but are there any sex scenes or anything? I have no idea. I'm also assuming it's above her reading level, but at least it's short. I'm thinking I'll just casually forget about the whole thing for a while...that is so lame, but I just can't be involved in any more decision-making right now! Haha...

I had a 3rd grader ask me for A Child Called "It". He said his sister had been reading it to him - totally not an appropriate book for a kid that young. I don't remember enough about Flowers for Algernon, but maybe you could ask her why she's interested? Maybe she saw the movie or something?
