Parenting for the future of civilization...

These books are all on the PABBIS (Parents Against Bad Books in School) bad books' list. The books are in alphabetical order.

To give you an idea about what kind of books these are, here is what the Fairfax County Public Schools Library catalog review has to say about the book 33 Snowfish by Rapp, Adam:

"..dark tale about three runaways who understand hatred and violence better than love. Custis, an orphan, is fleeing from his "owner," a producer of pornography and snuff films. Custis is accompanied by Curl, a child prostitute, and her boyfriend, Boobie, who has just murdered his parents and kidnapped his baby brother to sell on the streets. Drawn together more by desperation than friendship, they roam from one town to the next, stealing and scavenging."
