Sandpiper by Ellen Wittlinger, 227 pages
Sandpiper is about a girl by the same name who runs into some trouble with her overly promiscuous behavior. This behavior is also what led to this book being challenged in Alabama. Sandpiper had numerous themes that seem borderline, if not entirely inappropriate for younger kids.
Overall though the book seems to get the message across that engaging in this kind of behavior is not appropriate and will harm your life. I would say this book is not for the younger readers in the teen section but for those in the 15+ area.
