MAINEVILLE, Ohio (WXIX) - Some concerned parents want a special committee to screen books sold at book fairs after a book they call offensive and inappropriate was for sale at their book fair.
Author Alice Oseman lists her book, Heartstopper, as a graphic novel on her website.
The book was being sold at Little Miami School District’s Scholastic Book Fair in August.
“It’s more than foul language,” said Silas Shelton, who is the father of a middle school student in the Little Miami School District. “There’s so much sexual innuendo, especially in Heartstopper.”
The book is described on the author’s website as “Boy meets boy. Boys become friends. Boys fall in love. A bestselling LGBTQ+ graphic novel about life, love, and everything that happens in between.”
Some of the pages in the graphic novel feature intimate scenes and expletives.
“You’ve got these kids that are having to think about things they really shouldn’t be thinking about at all,” explained Shelton.
