Some lines include, \u201cHe\u2019s not breathing, he\u2019s not moving,\u201d \u201cHe\u2019s dead\u2013Atticus is dead,\u201d \u201cAtticus isn\u2019t breathing,\u201d \u201cBut he doesn\u2019t move.

And the three of us are making love with each other.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The book has been earning mostly one-star reviews on Amazon and Goodreads, with many readers noting that the themes are inappropriate for children and mentioning that there are no warnings on the book.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">\u201c[The book\u2019s] audience is children and there are graphic descriptions of sexual acts between characters. Yes, the characters are older. No, they\u2019re not always consenting,\u201d one reviewer notes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">\u201cThe main three characters participate in a threesome that is graphic, and this book is listed as appropriate for 9th through 12th graders, which is completely insane\u2026 If we think that it\u2019s appropriate to market sex let alone a threesome to 12-year-olds there\u2019s a serious problem in this industry,\u201d another person said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">\u201cWhat a piece of filth. Please stop selling this book targeting pre-teen adolescents,\u201d another reviewer shared. \u201cI\u2019m appalled at the gruesome, disgusting material that no child should read. What happens to these characters is beyond horrific and made me want to vomit. Glad I\u2019m able to preview books before giving them to my child. This one ended up in the trash. I hope the author is investigated, because I just can\u2019t understand the perverted imagination it would take to conjure up some of the scenes in this book.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Author de la Cruz is also the author of \u201cThe Isle of the Lost\u201d (Descendants) book series, which was later adapted into the popular \u201cDescendants\u201d movies on Disney.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Disney\/ABC did not immediately respond to The Daily Wire\u2019s request for comment.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/good-morning-america-book-pick-for-teens-features-rape-threesomes-necrophilia\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A novel in the Young Adult (YA) genre, which was a \u201cGood Morning America\u201d YA Book Club selection, apparently includes graphic sex scenes of necrophilia, threesomes, and rape.\u00a0 \u201cSibylline,\u201d written by Melissa de la Cruz, is advertised as \u201ca heart-stopping dark academia romantasy series\u201d in the YA genre.
