We have to read books like that for my book club. Do any of you have suggestions? So far I've read:
Ender's Game (racism/xenophobia, placing extremely high expectations on children)
Civil Disobedience (political and social apathy)
And I've started, but not finished, these two:
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (criticizes governments that exaggerate small or nonexistent issues to distract from the real issues)
Alien in a Bottle (criticizes overprotectiveness and not letting kids at least try something they're passionate about)
