I just find it hilarious that YA books are considered dark now, as opposed to the ones they suggest.
A Tree Grows in Brooklyn-attempted rape, child abuse, poverty, alcoholism, parental neglect and murder.
Fahrenheit 451-Censorship, suicide and a breaking down of society.
And let's not forget the classics.
Hans Christian Anderson, whose stories would likely make parents of today cower in terror? Nightmare fuel to the max.
What about Little Women, where a main character does the right thing and dies?
David Copperfield, with horrific child abuse in the first three chapters?
The Prince and the Pauper-Poverty, child abuse, executions?
Children books have never been sanitized.
And your grandma sounds awesome.
