Risque topics discussed
I got this book on CD for my 9-year-old 4th grader to listen to in the car, and luckily, I was with her to review the content. I was surprised to hear of discussions about having a lover, strange diatribe on the word "black" to denote color vs. African-Americans, drinking, etc.Call me a prude, but I stopped the CD and got rid of it. There didn't seem to be enough edifying material to finish.I know that this book is listed at 10-years-old on up, so technically, my daughter is a tad young for the content of this book; nevertheless, I thought this book would be a bit more tween-friendly.
