if its the same book i heard about, its bannign ahas something to do with a dogf scrotum, i think... laurie halse anderson talked about it in her LJ a day or 3 ago.

Quick background. One the first page of the most recent Newbery winner, The Higher Power of Lucky, a rather unfortunate dog is bit by a rattlesnake in a rather unfortunate place. That's right. Fido (actually, the dog is named Roy) gets nailed in the ballsack. But the reader does not see the incident. Instead, the book's main character, Lucky, overhears a conversation about it.

Lucky then ponders this strange word, scrotum, thinking it "sounded medical and secret." (I must agree with her about that. It took me decades to figure out precisely what that word meant.)
