Jennifer asked this question about The Hate U Give (The Hate U Give, #1):

Would this book be appropriate for a middle schooler? Language? Sexuality?

So my plan is to read this book and then give it to my 4th grader as long as the violence/sex isn't too explicit & upsetting. She can always wait until 7th grade ;). But if she found this book on her own and started reading it, I would not forcibly take it away from her (I would want to know what is in it and warn her that it might not be the best choice, if that's what I believed). My parents did not censor my reading, and I will not censor my children's reading.(less)
