This book’s been a seller since 1999. That tells me somebody has a handle on what teenagers want to read. Ok, so there’s a date rape scene in the book, but why are we so afraid to let young people be educated in on what really happens in the world they have to survive in?

lol, The more parents out it the more kids are are wanting to read it
