Sex sells. And that's so infuriating. My eleven-year-old, for one, doesn't like books with any sex or insinuated sex or pre-exploration of sex. We've had all the talks. She knows what it is. But she doesn't want to read about it. Someday, she probably will. Not now. She loves A Wrinkle In Time, To Kill A Mockingbird, Black Beauty, My Friend Flicka (I have a first edition copy that was my mother's as a child, my eleven-year-old read it when she was 7, long before the "movie"), A Tree Grows In Brooklyn. Those are her favorite books. Makes me wonder who these kids in 5th and 6th grade are who supposedly want to read books with "more" sex. ??? Liz In the end, it’s all about the Benjamins. Sex sells.
