My Mom's Having A Baby!
A Kid's Month-by-Month Guide

by Dori Hillestad Butler

"How do Dad's sperm and your egg get together?"

"The man puts his penis between the woman's legs and inside her vagina. After a
while, a white liquid shoots out of the man's penis and into the woman's vagina.
The liquid is full of millions of sperm."

The Absolutely True Diary
of a Part-Time Indian

by Sherman Alexie

And it's not like my mother and father were born into wealth. It's not like they
gambled away their family fortunes. My parents came from poor people who came
from poor people who came from poor people, all the way back to the very first
poor people. Adam and Eve covered their privates with fig leaves; the first Indians
covered their privates with their tiny hands.

Dangerously Alice

by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor

"And everyone's naked?" Liz asked.

"In the pool, yes."

I couldn't help smiling a little--partly remembering the skinny-dipping we'd done
at Camp Overlook two summers ago and orally thinking how Mark Stedmeister's
parents were pretty strict about alcohol and drugs in their swimming pool, but
completely oblivious to the fact that mark and some of his friends were having
midnight swims in the nude.

Gossip Girl

by Cecily Von Ziegesar

Welcome to New York City's Upper East Side, where my friends and I live and
go to school and play and sleep--sometimes with each other. We all live in huge
apartments with our own bedrooms and bathrooms and phone lines. We have
unlimited access to money and booze and whatever else we want, and our
parents are rarely home, so we have tons of privacy.

Brave New World

by Aldous Huxley

Henry Foster loomed up through the twilight of the Embryo Store.

"Like to come to a feely this evening?"

Lenina shook her head without speaking.

"Going out with some one else?"

It interested him to know which of his friends was being had by which other.

"Is it Benito?" he questioned…

"A doctor a day keeps the jim-jams away," he added heartily, driving home
his hypnopaedic adage with a clap on the shoulder.

"Perhaps you need a Pregnancy Substitute."

To Kill a Mockingbird

by Harper Lee

"Scout," said Atticus, "nigger-lover is just one of those terms that don't mean
anything – like snot-nose. It's hard to explain – ignorant, trashy people use it
when they think somebody's favoring Negroes over and above themselves.
It's slipped into usage with some people like ourselves, when they want a common,
ugly term to label somebody."

What My Mother Doesn't Know

by Sonya Sones

It was
Dylan's lap,
but even though he goes to my school
I'd never seen him before.

And he had such smoldery dark eyes
that I felt like I'd been zapped
smack into the middle
of some R-rated movie
and everyone else in the car
was just going to fade away
and this guy and I
were going to start making out,
right then and there,
without having said
one word to each other.

The Hunger Games

by Suzanne Collins

As soon as I'm in the trees, I retrieve a bow and sheath of arrows from a hollow
log. Electrified or not, the fence has been successful at keeping the flesh-eaters
out of District 12. Inside the woods they roam freely, and there are added concerns
like venomous snakes, rabid animals and no real paths to follow. But there's also
food if you know how to find it. My father knew and he taught me some before he
was blown to bits in a mine explosion. There was nothing even to bury. I was
eleven then. Five years later, I still wake up screaming for him to run.

The Color of Earth

by Dong Hwa Kim

"The new beetle is on top of the female now, and they're goin' at it."

"That's why people say the beetle's a bug that'll take any mate."

"Then I suppose them beetles are just like the tavern owner--little Ehwa's mom."

"Whatta ya mean?"

"I heard the village elders say that Ehwa's mom will have anyone that'll take her."
