[CASL-L] Sibylline- Melissa De la Cruz

[Jennifer Duetzmann]

Good morning-

I'm wondering if any of you have seen the recent controversy that blew up
this weekend over this book? I have it on my order list at the moment
because it is listed as a "Best of Titlewave" book and is this month's GMA
YA Book Club pick. It definitely sounds like a story that my students would
be interested in. With that being said, I saw the "questionable" pages
posted online and am wondering what others think. The last thing I want to
do is participate in soft censorship, but I'm not sure that this meets the
collection development policy despite the positive reviews. SLJ and Kirkus
both mention the explicit scene. Booklist and Publisher's Weekly do not.

Thanks in advance for your thoughts-
