Title: Belle Prater's Boy Not for Sensitive Hearts
Product review: The spooky mysteriousness of Belle's disappearance, Gypsy's frightening nighmares, Gypsy's contempt for her stepfather and the rebellious attitude of the children toward adults are not acceptable content for 8 or 9 year olds. The description of Gypsy's father's suicide is particularly gory and unnecessary. I bought this book because it was on a list of novels to be read by my third grader's class. I have also expressed the above opinion to the teacher, but thought this might help another parent before they buy it.
