* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: For a series which is in a lot of elementary and middle school libraries, this series does this a lot. For example, the first book has underage drinking, sexual harassment and [[spoiler:a rather tragic hazing death]]. The second book gets away with [[spoiler:teen pregnancy and a character getting arrested for selling pills to children]]. The third book has a character [[spoiler:hold students hostage with an assault rifle]].
** While ''November Blues'' dodges the word "sex" [[spoiler:in the main teen pregnancy plotline]], words are used like "sleeping around" which are a bit stronger then the average children's book.
*** Also in the same book, Arielle calls November a tramp, clearly intended in the more modern sexual way.
