Re: [LM_NET] Forever, Judy Blume

[Robert Eiffert <beiffert@COMCAST.NET>]

Are you looking at role-playing a person who wants to ban  _Forever_, or
looking at selection policy and whether it fits a specific collection?

Worth reading what Judy Blume has to say about it: "Kids are always
asking, How old do I have to be before I can read this book? An
impossible question to answer. Some kids are ready at twelve, some not
until later. They usually know themselves."
