[CALIBK12] Angel Girl Controversy

[Jill Detweiler]

Although I think the publisher is offering refunds, I am opting to keep
Angel Girl in the collection both as an engaging fictional story and a
discussion piece. As with some challenged or banned books I will attach an
envelope inside the front cover including an article or two about the issues
and controversy.
I am interested to hear other ideas...

p.s. this book was a Junior Library Guild selection
