This is a book that all teenagers and parents of teenagers, especially in America, must read. And then talk about it together. It is recognizable on so many levels. I just can't fathom why this book is banned in America, just because it has the word "erection" in if somewhere. Very close minded, when bullying, popularity and guns are such important topics.
