Thanks to YALSA-BK, I read the following column in the Philadelphia Inquirer: Parents, Beware: Some Books are Full of Bilge.

First off, "bilge"? Who's been reading Patrick O'Brien novels, I ask you?

( my response to the author )

I did just get an email from the author, which was nice, and it says all the right things about listening to librarians and such. But I can't help feeling that it's just lip service, because if she really felt that way . . . wouldn't she have written an article that reflected that?

[sigh]
