Breaking Rank

Hole in My Life- Jack Gantos
The Giver- Lois Lowry
Lord of the Flies- William Golding


Statement--
I found the structure of the book very appealing; it switched between two viewpoints at by chapter. Also I thought it was unique that the beginning of each chapter started with a few words which were bolded. I also found it interesting how Casey dealt with overcoming the stereotypes which divided the clan from the rest of the school; she approached the challenge with an all or nothing mentality.

Question--
I found this book to be more censored than Whale Talk, when the idea of sex was brought up it was done so in a delicate way, with no direct reference. So is this book considered more youth friendly then Whale Talk?
