All my parent's bookshelf when I was little is there, plus a lot of the fantasy novels I read later. I just can't help but wonder wtf is left for the kids to read? The Bible and the Very Hungry Caterpillar?

Very hungry caterpillar is trans propaganda

The House of the Spirits puzzled me at first. I read it in school myself and it really doesn't contain anything that students aged 12 and above with a halfway decent teacher should struggle with in any way.

Then I remembered that fundies are generally ridiculous and the surname Allende is a reminder that socialism could work if not for American interference the moment a South American country decides to democratically elect anyone to the left of Reagan.

It took my far too long to realize this meant Orange as in Orange County instead of a new political affiliation like "Red" or "Blue" XD
