Title: Definitely Young Adult Material!
Product review: I am a librarian at a private elementary/junior high school. I purchased this book based on Pullman's very uplifting series "His Dark Materials." Although this book is well crafted, I was disturbed that Sally eventually solves the mystery by smoking opium. What message are we sending our youngsters? I am also aware that in further books in this series, Sally becomes a young, unwed mother. I'm sorry, but there's no place for this series in my library.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
