This is wrong because children want to read the amazing Twilight series. Most children over the age of 10 are loving this book and some have never read it and really do want to.

I think that the parent should deside if their child should read the books. But when you take 1 book out of the series and you will never know what happens and you just ruin the whole series by doing that! I feel very bad for the kid(s) that would not be aloud to read that book. And the kids at that school.

I agree with denise & Lori. Some people just gotta let it go.

okay yea there is sexual tension and all but nothing is ever explained or at all detailed and they wait till after marriage that is promoting a good thing for kids and students reading these books and they have to face it we learn one way or another so why keep these books away when we will read them anyway and there are different books they could worry about banning that acctualy have sexual content in them compared to this!!!!

This is redic.
The fourth book is an amazing book. By far my favourite book of the series. (though the entire series was amazing.)
I found the book was written beautifully. She didn’t go into detail at all, yes it was implied, but whatever. Books can be alot worse, & i think that she handled it VERY well.
I liked the idea about the schools keeping it behind the desk. & they can’t check it out without premission from the parent.
Some parents might not like the context of the book & thats fine, but just because one parent thought they were going to far, doesn’t mean the rest of the students should be held from such an amazing series.
So give it a rest. The books are truely amazing.

whathefudge?? noo, they can’t do that!

that parent is a party pooper!!

this article pisses me off, i swear.

well maybe if you don’t want your child reading those book, they should approve it to you first! don’t blame the whole library about it. plus with stephenie meyer didn’t go into details. & i agree with Lori, even tho there is a sex part of the book it still teaches a valuable lesson! don’t have sex until your married! Also you should trust your child, if she/he is responsible, reliable, and above the influence you have nothing to worry about….well that’s my opinion! YOU TAKE AWAY ONE BOOK, THEN IT SEEMS LIKE YOUR ARE TAKING ALL THE OTHER BOOKS AWAY.

IF YOU DON’T WANT YOUR CHILD TO BE READING THOSE KIND OF BOOK, THEN FINE…BUT PLEASE DON’T INCLUDE EVERY SINGLE PEOPLE.

whoever is that parent is wow, feel bad for you cause now A LOT of people will hate you!!! probably including me. sorry.

That is a ridiculous, I agree with you Lori! Stephenie Meyer doesn’t go into detail with anything too inappropriate, and there is so much more to Breaking Dawn than that one part!

Being a mother to an 11 yr old, I feel after reading the entire series where the sexual tension has been the entire time, that Breaking Dawn is no more racy or sexual. Never once did Stephanie go into detail, she handled it beautifully! In fact, I personally love how she promoted abstinence and marriage before sex. I feel that the school should place it on the self with the rest of series. By all means, send a letter home to all students parents attending the school in the district that it is available for their student to read. If the parent has a problem then call the library and make the librarian aware that their child cannot check it out! Punishing an entire school for one persons opinion is inappropriate.

i think it is the most ridiculous thing ever. i have an 11 year old neice and both my sister and i think it is just perfect for young girls. in fact, us adults wish it was e little more racy…
