I think you can return it. There shouldn't be any issue with it.

Hatchet was read to me as a third grader, so I think it should be fine. I
remember being rapped by it at that age.
Also, my all time favorite books.
Sideways Stories From wayside School
And
Wayside School is Falling Down

I loved these books and still do, but read them all the way through
elementary school.
Most kids comprehend at at least three reading levels above their "sight"
reading level. So reading the higher level books to him is actually a great
thing. Just don't ask him to read them till he is ready. And you reading
them and using the proper vocabulary helps him build his listening
vocabulary which is usually three grade levels above the written.
Another cute one is the books by Douglas Evans, which we have some on the
site but definitely not all.
The Classroom at the End of the Hall is cute, as is Apple Island Or the
Truth about Teachers, and let me see, Oh The Elevator family which is about
a very interesting family who stays in the elevator instead of in a regular
room, all quite hilarious, smile.

Puppies are the joy at one end.
Old dogs are the treasure at the other.

Woodsong was our first Gary Paulsen book. So I think
we will try Hatchet next, thanks! Woodsong was rated
ages 12 and up so I wasn't sure about reading it to my
son, who is 8. But it was ok. He reads at a pretty
high level and if I think he doesn't know what a word
means I usually try to explain it to him.
Can I take Don't Fidget a Feather back to the library
now? The Catholic school uses the public library for
their library and I don't want to deprive other kids
of this great book! I can hang onto it though if you
think there will be a question about it.
I wish there was a way on the list of books in step
one to see which books are in which categories (like
childrens, westerns, romance, etc). Several books I
clicked on because the title sounded interesting to
find it was a book I really wouldn't want to try to
look at. Titles can be so deceiving!
