   Which, I think, at some point, I mentioned.  And that's the non-fiction   
   section...  Now let's talk about the fiction section. Judy Blume, "Then   
   Again Maybe I Won't" has one of the main characters stealing, another is   
   a voyeur.  Robert Heinlein's "Red Planet" has the two main characters   
   running away from school.  Oh, they carry guns in the book too.  And   
   Podkayne of Mars has the lead character blowing something up and killing   
   something.  Noel Streatfield's Thursday's Child has child abuse, and   
   stealing in it.  Dr. Seuss promotes disobedience in The Cat In the Hat,   
   and lying in "I Saw it on Mulberry Street".   
      
   I think that's enough for now.
