re: #118 jaunte

I’m curious about why anyone would object to stories about fantasy witchcraft, (unless one believed it might have a chance of working).

Some folks don’t see a distinction between fantasy-novel magic and things like, say, Santeria rituals.

They are, of course, missing the point completely, but they’re free to not buy the books and let their kid miss out on an excellent reading experience.

There are also far-right parents who object to the Junie B. Jones series, because the first-grader heroine misspells words and sometimes disobeys her parents.
