<DIV>I'm so glad you shared this. I read it, too, and felt the same way. I'm conservative, so I felt maybe it was me being overly sensitive. :) My 5th grader picked it up out of my school bag because it looked like a fun read, and I promptly snatched it out of his hands!! </DIV>

<DIV>We ordered the book because it is on the Abe Book List for 2019. Not sure if we will be adding the rest of the series.....<SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-WEIGHT: normal">

It is marked as teen + in titlewave. I ordered it and the rest of the series for my high school. <BR><BR>It was checked out and returned with a verbal challenge due to content. My assistant sent it to me to read. <BR><BR>I am not very conservative. I was shocked by the language inside. Third page f%#} you. Page 5 hell morning. Page 7 g d. Page 8 faggot. Page 9 b^%#}. <BR><BR>You get the idea. Almost every page has a swear word on it or a rude gesture. <BR><BR>Originally my comment to the high school was YA fiction contains some swear words and some mild sexual situations. Hence the label. This is on pretty much every page. <BR><BR>Please share your thoughts. I hate censorship. However, I don’t want to spend next year explaining to conservative small town parents why this book is at our HS. <BR><BR>Thank you <BR>Kathryn Green<BR>District Librarian<BR>OCUSD220 <BR>_______________________________________________<BR>ISLMA-Share mailing list<BR>islma@list.railslibraries.info<BR>For list archives and subscription options, visit:<BR><A href="http://list.railslibraries.info/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/islma">http://list.railslibraries.info/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/islma</A><BR>To unsubscribe, send a message to:<BR>islma-leave@list.railslibraries.info<BR></DIV></BODY></HTML>
