Paula asked this question about The Hate U Give (The Hate U Give, #1):
Is this book appropriate for grade 7 and 8?
Susan D'Entremont The language and sex are very minor. I see that others have said there is an f*ck on every page, but I am quite prudish, and it didn't stick out to me…moreThe language and sex are very minor. I see that others have said there is an f*ck on every page, but I am quite prudish, and it didn't stick out to me. Other aspects of the book might be more disturbing, especially the gang warfare. There aren't long, graphic passages, but there are definitely descriptions of blood and gun violence. I think it is a perfect book for both parents and kids to read and discuss. (less)
