I am so upset right now I could cry! I have a child that has autism and 2 others that have learning disabilities. I have other family members that also have special needs. My daughter rides the special needs bus and today I went and bought a book that I love called the house of night. I get to the 2nd chapter and what do I have to read but this:
"A short bus really?" All I could do was shake my head and stare at the squatty yellow thing that said HOUSE OF NIGHT in fresh black letters across it's side. "I mean it's nice that my call to Thantos worked so fast and we're being allowed to go back to school, but a short bus?"
"Twin! They sent the ****** bus for us!" Erin said, giggling.
"Twin, that's really mean," Shaunee said.
"I know, Twin. I can't believe Neferet's so f-ing evil she sent the ****** bus for us," Erin said.
Then it goes on to have another call it the tard bus. I am taking this book back and posting how hurtful it is anywhere I can. These comments have nothing to do with the story! I feel that my daughter and family have been called ******s now because of this book. How dare they promote bullying and the use of such a mean and hurtful word. This is a series that teens to adults read. There is enough bullying in this world to have it promoted in a book. I feel that this book should be pulled and that PC and Kirstin Cast should put out an apology for putting this into their book. What do you think? Am I over reacting? All I want to do is give them bad reviews for this book and I did post a comment on their facebook page saying that this was so wrong!!
Sorry for my rant but I am hurt and offended by this and thought that you all here would understand why I am so upset.
