I admit, I never read her work.

I always enjoyed S.E. Hinton's adolescent-themed novels, though.

To be honest, when I was that age I wasn't much of an avid reader.

I loved "The Outsiders."

My 15 YO was required to read the terminally boring "Our Town" this year. What a yawner. First year teachers are always wide-eyed about Thorton Wilder.

Now that I have read through this thread and realized you didn't include me - I've had my stamping of the foot tantrum and am now able to speak.........


I've never read Blume's work.........and I read anything I could get my hands on when I was that age----including my history books!!!!

But all kidding aside - it seems to me the school did what the school should do - parents objected, the school looked into the objections and acted upon the objections. Regardless of the outcome - they at least are paying attention and working with the parents of the children they are teaching. At least that is the way this is coming across to me.
