“The boyfriend” by; R.L STINE research paper by:jessica locke “The boyfriend” is a book to entertain. The book was not made to scare kids it is made for fun. three reasons this book is banned or challenged is of some parents,because people think it's to scary for kids,and because there's too much violence in r.l stines books. I don't believe the book should be completely banned. Although some of r.l. stine books should be challenged in Elementary Schools. R.l. stine books are challenged and banned because parents think it's to scary for there kid and others. For example out of one of the article's I read it said "the objections came from parents who felt the books were too frightening for kids and/or contained satanic and occult themes". Most of r.l. books are scary to young kids but not to middle and high school kids . Middle and high school should be able to read r.l. stines books as they please. I can't say that all people like stines books but lots do.
