Taking away books based on one man's warped view of life is so wrong. <br /><br />And you are so right; kids sometimes need to be able to find books they can identify with. I had a small incident with a teacher at my boy's school just two days ago that I'm mulling over. I'll eventually get around to talking to the teacher about it, Tess MacKallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00066240659271231596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6927196002363676480.post-26039735661603661332010-09-22T21:25:49.495-04:002010-09-22T21:25:49.495-04:00Thanks, Anne and Valerie!

I acutally liked that book a lot and it was deep and moving. I didn't feel like it was "bad". To be honest, in the book I don't think it even went into great detail involving her rape. I imagine that a few girls out there have read that or seen the movie and come forward about their own rape or at least were able to Katilynnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6927196002363676480.post-89515448991850321472010-09-22T16:58:21.251-04:002010-09-22T16:58:21.251-04:00I'm totally against banning this book!
