What My Mother Doesn’t Know
By: Sonya Sones
Genre: Young Adult/banned book
Pages: 261
Published: 2003
Read: August
5 out of 5
Written in prose, this book is very similar to Ellen Hopkins
novels, which are also challenged. This
story may have bad language, sexual content and discussions of nudity, BUT it
isn’t meant for 10 year olds. This book is written for teenagers or young
adults. It discusses topics that almost every teenager experiences and/or
feels. The very essence of the novel is
a lesson every parents SHOULD want their child to learn versus telling them
they shouldn’t read the novel. It’s
about a teenager girl who falls in love with the unattractive outcast of her
class, who is essential verbally bullied by classes. It teaches the readers to
look at what a person is on the inside versus what they look like on the outside.
Who can dispute that lesson??

I am very excited to read more of her books and to see what other lessons she
teaches our young adults.
