The absolute problem with book banning in general. The book in question is rated as 4th to 7th grade. The author has an issue with her fourth grader to read it. So she thinks that it should be banned from the school library. Yeah, see, that is the problem. She doesn't think her kid should read it, so she has decided that no 4th grader should read it. When I was in 4th grade I would have been plenty mature enough to read it. Many 4th graders can probably deal with a fleeting mention of strippers. If you don't want your kid to read it, that is fine. It is your choice. However, you don't get to tell every other kid that they can't read it either. Hence why book banning is bad.
**not the most impressive of writing, but it is timely since it is banned book week.**
