[edit] Genre

Tina's novels cover the amusing circumstances that can arise out of young teens' ideas of romance. For example, the central characters in An X-Rated Romance, the eighth graders Emily and Sara, decide to seduce their English teacher, but completely lack any understanding of what is involved. The confrontations and scenarios that evolve are similarly funny. The perspectives change from one book to the next, providing additional hilarity.

An X-Rated Romance was banned in several libraries due to expected adult content as the title seems to suggest; the novel actually contains no such content.
