Speaking of banning books...

I encourage everyone to check out Scott Westerfeld's (Uglies series, Peeps, So Yesterday, etc.) blog about Susan Patron’s Newberry Award-winning book The Higher Power of Lucky. And take note of the masses of kids, librarians, and all others that commented on the supposed talk of banning this book due to the use of the word "scrotum." How sad people. There are worse things we should be protecting kids from than anatomical terms. But in all fairness he give such a great rant I could never come close.
