I think it teeters on the line and the more I write the more I push it towards girls.<br /><br />My nine year old boy likes a LITTLE romance in his books as well. He's a hopeless romantic already. He wouldn't read a kissing book but he does like the 'he likes her' tension.Small Town Shelly Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13535247595352753415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6509009608138236950.post-7754153721284396452011-08-25T09:22:30.111-06:002011-08-25T09:22:30.111-06:00The "No dude.
