Here's another copy on my shelf.

This was a quick read. I suppose I can understand why this series is controversial - it's not all sugar and spice, but there really isn't anything over-the-top.

I can't imagine this book requiring signed parental permission, and I must have missed the part where it promotes homosexuality - unless it's the part where Ms. Summers ends up sleeping in Alice's bed overnight because of bad weather.

Lucky me - this works for my 50 states reading challenge since Alice lives in Maryland, along with some of my very good friends. :)

Maryland is "The Old Line State" - someday I'll find out what that means! Unsurprisingly, this state named after an English queen was one of the original 13 colonies and the 7th to join the union. I don't think I've been there 7 times yet, maybe 5.

Also a banned book release and a release for the Head, Shoulders, Knees & Toes challenge (embedded word chin).

WILD RELEASE NOTES:
