I am reading it with my home-schooled 10-year-old son. I'm also reading it -- for the 2nd time -- with my 14-year-old, who has a special interest in banned books, by the way. I really like your site! I have a particular weakness for book blogs. :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2991243497567962852.post-20848796158001952592007-03-03T21:55:00.000-05:002007-03-03T21:55:00.000-05:00Crazy!

I'm sure kids in Miami wouldn't get the connection unless pointed out to them anyway, which it has now.
