4th Grader's Mommy wants Lowry's Anastasia books banned

Author Defends Content of Books. COME ON! The Anastasia books? That lady has too much time on her hands.

The books focus on the life of a pre-adolescent heroine, Anastasia Krupnik, who is age 10-13 in the books. Some of her trials include: dealing with an impending baby brother; proving she and her father can run their household when her mother is gone; and first relationships with boys.

Hardee objected to scenes that make reference to stuffing bras, snapping bras and other talk that she deemed "vulgar."

Aw, yeah. Rock on, Anastasia! Now you're really a classic!

THEN DON'T HAVE YOUR KID READ THE DAMN BOOKS. I mean, it's a shame that her daughter would miss out on Anastasia, but is it really fair to have EVERYONE miss out an Anastasia because one mom has NO imagination and NO sense of humor and NO sense of reality??

I'm sure the daughter already wears a chastity belt and is looking forward to her first date (with a group, of course) at age 32.
