Yeah, it's amazing what people want to censor.

And the main reason adults try and censor Julie of the Wolves is the sexual assault scene. But when I read the book at age 10, it didn't occur to me that was what it was -- all I saw was an assault. But even if I saw it for what it was, that's not something to be hidden from a pre-teen. Trying to hide the bad things in the world from children never makes for a better world.
