They are standing back, letting them behave like young pups, to get accustomed to their surroundings. It is rather ominous, however, in all that is supposed to be "new, exciting and interesting" that they are creating lassos and carrying tranqulizer guns. The irony is unmistakable and those who remember nuns from Catholic schools--it will stir up old memories of awful women who punished hard. The kids today see the irony/fear in the situation for any of us facing a new surrounding. Keep reading--a great satire and commentary about kids' cruelty and Catholicism and society's efforts to 100% eradicate all that is wild and free within us.(less)

Iâ€™m not sure what your student considers edgy. The stories here mostly feature teens and pre-teens dealing with growing up, sex, death, and loss in different ways. Russell presents these imaginative situations without offering answers or morals. That feels edgy in its own way. (less)
