Well, I didn't notice that this particular new one with the Gods of Asgard won the Stonewall Book Award. Yes, that's what it's called. The "Stonewall" award. It's "for exceptional merit relating to the GLBT experience." It's from the American Library Association.
Thank goodness my wife looked up the book online. I didn't notice the award glaring on the back of the book. There's a major character who explores/questions his/her gender identity in the book. And my eleven-year-old was going to read it. Got to be more careful.
Being from the American Library Association itself gives me chills since every library is now a minefield for my children. Well, I should have known with the drag queen story hour and such in so many libraries. (I stood in the childrens' section in the Boston Public Library with my children where the abomination started. I probably shouldn't have taken a picture of the big chair near the window where the drag queens read. It was just a tourist attraction as much as any other Boston landmark.)
I should've known that Rick Riordan was going to go full gender confused on the kids. He works for Disney/Hyperion.
