While this book has teen characters and may take place at school, be cautious! There is a large amount of controversial content and it's also quite detailed. If you're a parent looking at this book for your child, screen it beforehand! If you're a teacher, don't intentionally steer students toward this book!

Just because a book has young adults as the main characters that doesn't make it a YA book, um, this book is probably not suitable for junior high students and might get you in trouble at school! And, I may know this from experience!

There may be a few or even a lot of uncomfortable or controversial situations, but they're not described in great detail. A less mature or more conservative teen may find this offensive, but given to the right student, it could actually be incentive to read. Definitely not a book for every kid!

Although it may contain situations, I wouldn't mind my kiddo reading this book and might even recommend it to certain teenagers, not a whole class, and definitely to my adult friends to read. These books are books I will talk about in class, but will not make kids read.

This book is no worse than watching most teen television shows. It may mention some touchy issues and have a curse word here and there, but nothing I would be concerned about shielding from my students.

PG-13
If a kid tells me that their parents won't let them read this book, I wouldn't make them, but it may be a book that's part of our curriculum.

Maybe an instance or two of some controversy, but it's not the focus of the book in any way.

PG-13 for Conservatives; PG for those that may not be so conservative.

Disney would make a movie of this book and it would star Annette Funicello...don't get the reference? That's what Google is for, go Google that!

This book has now become part of my foundation and is an extension of the very essence of me...I laughed, I cried [or some other emotion] and am sad this reading is over...gush, gush, gush...
