Title: Parents--Beware of graphic descriptions
Product review: This book was assigned as summer reading for my high school freshman son. He has special needs and we were unprepared for some of the chapters. While I understand that children need to be exposed to different cultures, enviroments, etc., I feel that there are many other books that could have done this better. There are chapters concerning domestic abuse, child abuse, male dominance, and molestation. To a special needs child, these can overshadow the intended theme of "hope", "loss of innocence" and "survival". This is not the type of book I would choose willingly for my child. Additionally, for a child that has no real desire to read, this book would be a glaring reason for them to "turn away" from wanting to read again.
