Tipping the Velvet counts as suitable for 9th grade book report? Innnnnnteresting.

Apparently the child is less embarrassed writing about lesbians than gay boys. And it's no more explicit than the Ken Follett spy novels I was reading at the same age.

I would have to agree with Shadowflyer, except that all I've read of the book was it's Amazon blurb (and I've heard of it before). And that I did The Stand for an 8th grade book report....

I may have to add Tipping The Velvet to my list to read, though.

It is a truly marvelous book. I think you'd enjoy it.
