<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A novel in the Young Adult (YA) genre, which was a &#8220;Good Morning America&#8221; YA Book Club selection, apparently includes graphic sex scenes of necrophilia, threesomes, and rape. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Sibylline,” written by Melissa de la Cruz, is advertised as “a heart-stopping dark academia romantasy series” in the YA genre. Typically, these books are aimed at middle and high school children, with characters around that same age range. “Sibylline” was published on February 3.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Writer Lauren Uribe for Evie Magazine </span><a href="https://www.eviemagazine.com/post/theres-a-book-with-necrophilia-and-rape-being-recommended-to-tweens-and-gma-calle"><span style="font-weight: 400;">described</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> some of the graphic content in the novel, which included scenes that seemed to depict the rape of a person believed to be deceased.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Uribe noted that in chapter 40, a character named Atticus dies, which is clearly indicated over the course of the chapter by characters Raven and Dorian. Some lines include, “He’s not breathing, he’s not moving,” “He’s dead–Atticus is dead,” “Atticus isn’t breathing,” “But he doesn’t move. Doesn’t wake,” “He’s dead,” and “he’s gone.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In chapter 41, told from Atticus’s perspective, those two characters attempt to bring Atticus back to life by engaging in sexual acts with him.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This narrative includes the lines, “Someone is undressing me,” “they are undressing themselves as well,” “Now Raven’s breast is against my mouth,” “Dorian presses his erection against my back,” “Raven’s hands are on my shaft, guiding me, and as I plunge into her, Dorian’s thrusting into me. And the three of us are making love with each other.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The book has been earning mostly one-star reviews on Amazon and Goodreads, with many readers noting that the themes are inappropriate for children and mentioning that there are no warnings on the book.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“[The book’s] audience is children and there are graphic descriptions of sexual acts between characters. Yes, the characters are older. No, they&#8217;re not always consenting,” one reviewer notes.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“The main three characters participate in a threesome that is graphic, and this book is listed as appropriate for 9th through 12th graders, which is completely insane… If we think that it’s appropriate to market sex let alone a threesome to 12-year-olds there’s a serious problem in this industry,” another person said.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“What a piece of filth. Please stop selling this book targeting pre-teen adolescents,” another reviewer shared. “I&#8217;m appalled at the gruesome, disgusting material that no child should read. What happens to these characters is beyond horrific and made me want to vomit. Glad I&#8217;m able to preview books before giving them to my child. This one ended up in the trash. I hope the author is investigated, because I just can&#8217;t understand the perverted imagination it would take to conjure up some of the scenes in this book.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Author de la Cruz is also the author of “The Isle of the Lost” (Descendants) book series, which was later adapted into the popular “Descendants” movies on Disney.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Disney/ABC did not immediately respond to The Daily Wire’s request for comment.</span></p>
