Her novel "Find a Stranger, Say Goodbye" is one of my all-time favorite YA books.

I *heart* that woman.

But, then Judy Blume books are banned some placed for dealing with menstruation... God forbid girls be able to know about how to deal with these feelings... and ugh! Some boy might accidentally pick up the book!

I bet that mom in Polk county doesn't believe dinosaures existed, either... they're just tricks from that Devil to make us think the Earth is old!

I was a big Lowry fan back in the day. The Giver was one of my favorite books, and I think everyone - young and old - should read it.

I've never read the Anastasia series, but in no way has any book by Lowry, IMO, been inappropriate. On the contrary, she's one of the best contemporary YA authors out there.
