[quote=Anonymous]My teen son got into my book bags twice.

Once he got Helen Hoang's "The Bride Test".  Which is a pretty good story but it has a very gratuitous oral scene.  I'd not really wanted my kid to know I could read straight-faced through that kind of scene.  He asked me about it...and I just said the characters were good but certain scenes were a bit much.

Another time he read "Art of Racing in the Rain".  Which I thought was just a heartwarming dog POV story.  And it was - with a false pedophilic/SA accusation betwen in-laws subplot close to the end.  Yikes.

Oh well.  I sneaked worse, younger.  In 6th grade, I read "The World According to Garp" which starts with a nurse SA'ing a dying WW2 soldier...precisely because my dad tried to keep it away from me. Read Judy Bloom's Forever at the library so I didn't have to check it out.  Still can't forget what the male lead did with aftershave.  Skimmed Clan of the Cave Bear at a church booksale, lol.

Tell your daughter what you want her to hear directly from you.  The Internet is vast and full of literary smut.[/quote]
