<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">I read<i> George </i>the story of the transexual child that was selected as the "Battle of the Books" selection today. What upset me the most is that the author gives away (in detail) the ending of <i>Charlotte's Web,
</i>beginning in chapter 2, and then throughout the book. I find this unforgiveable.
<i>Charlotte's Web </i>is a book every child should read with an open mind and an open heart, not knowing what will happen. To tell the ending is a terrible thing to do to anyone who hasn't yet read it, and giving the reading level of "George" I think that
will be the case for many of the children who read <i>George</i>.</p>
