Looking at last Set/Oct NLS Braille Book review. Normally I dislike that somuch of the "Adult Fiction" is for junior and senior high readers. Some of the other books say "explicit descriptions of sex, violence, and strong language." Ok. But read the description of this one. If it were being scanned into Bookshare would it be marked Adult Content because of the sex and violence? "Copper Sunday by Sharon Draper, 2 volumes. Amari is taken from her African village when she is fifteen and sold to a southern plantation owner in America. Amari and Polly, a white indentured servant,risk everything to escape. Descriptions of sex and violence. For senior highand older readers. Coretta Scott King Award. 2006." And what makes the difference of descriptions of vs. explicit?????
