I was at a meeting where the subject of The Higher Power of Lucky was being discussed as the new Newberry winner, and because we were all elementary librarians, the second paragraph "scrotum scandal" came up right away. I hadn't yet read the book but went home and did so to see what all the fuss was about. Well, the book didn't do it for me and it had nothing to do with the use of the word scrotum. I think the dog could have been bitten elsewhere to save the controversy and have broader appeal, but the story just didn't grab me as an award winning book.
