What are brown sugar sandwiches?? Dennis says his family is eating brown sugar sandwiches in chapter 7, but even google is confused what they are. Is it literally just brown sugar on bread?

I guess it's a generational thing. I was a kid in the 70s in the UK and occasionally my Grandma would give us sugar sandwiches. They were literally sliced bread spread with butter and sprinkled with sugar. The thought is appalling now, but at the time I remember loving them (alternatively we had golden syrup sandwiches or jam (jelly) sandwiches and for a really special treat, mashed banana sandwiches!). I must stress that these weren't for a main meal, but rather as a quick snack. Different times.(less)

I ready it as a high school love story, and loved that it was - what I, as a German Gen-Xer - think of as quite-essentially American - rather than a horror novel.
While there is gore, I personally didn't think it is particularly scary. Not like, say, IT.(less)

My son's 6th grade teacher is reading aloud this book. Is this appropriate? I haven't read it and can't find any "parent" reviews about it. Thanks!
Amanda This one seems a bit much for a 6th grade class. I wouldn't be opposed to my own child wanting to read it, but I can definitely see how it could be de…moreThis one seems a bit much for a 6th grade class. I wouldn't be opposed to my own child wanting to read it, but I can definitely see how it could be deemed inappropriate by many parents. (less)
