At our school, PG means, well, PG; you know- Parental Guidance. Here's the way it works: Some books, especially those older youth titles that deal with "issues", are well enough written that they deserve to be enjoyed. However, respecting the primary right and obligation of parents to oversee the timely education of their children, we designate these titles as PG and only check them out to parents. We will only include titles that have merit, and will usually note the particular issue or concern to watch for.
This British historical fiction work by Bruce Clements, an improbable but entertaining mystery, includes a dozen or so phrases that don't meet our usual standards. It does provide opportunities to talk about what God is like as well as religion and superstition. Quality = 5; Acceptability = 3.
