I wish I had never read this book and would not recommend anyone else read the book-- it was not harmless and the ideas are very dangerous/troubling. This book should not have received the Newberry Medal Award or be selected for community reads! Also, the author is not willing to discuss the book or the reasons she wrote the book at community presentations.
