That is absolutely wild. I’m with you - certainly didn’t count crap as profanity, and I don’t think there was any sexual content. I thought this book was absolutely age appropriate for high schoolers. There are a lot of kids today who’ve been through similar and much worse, and this book might just let them know that they’re not alone.Diana Lowery wrote: ↑18 Jul 2023, 07:53 As I was reading this book, I thought it would be appropriate to read in a high school classroom. My review was rejected because I didn't list the word "crap" in the PRQ. I also said that it had no sexual content, but evidently, it does. What is your opinion on reading this with a group of teenagers?

I suppose crap would be considered borderline profanity. As for the sexual content, there is mention of sexual abuse so that's probably why it should get marked? Idk exactly how much was there otherwise. Some kissing maybe. Definitely appropriate for teenagers.Diana Lowery wrote: ↑18 Jul 2023, 07:53 As I was reading this book, I thought it would be appropriate to read in a high school classroom.

It is important to have a safe space where they can discuss their challenges and fears without judgment. Anxiety and stress build when there is no outlet for your emotions. Ignoring problems will not make them go away. I have a fifth-grader who brought up that their sister's best friend committed suicide in the middle of our literature class. Granted it was a small group lesson, but I was glad that he felt safe to share and we were able to empathize and offer comfort.
