There are some. Many are boring. Being able to tap what makes teens tick, what interests them, and not what we think they should like is the prime reason people hate Moby Dick with a passion when they're forced to read it before it has any context with their lives or interests. If saying that girls finding boys attractive and indulging in Cindarella fantasies is something that needs to be stamped out, it needs to start with stamping it out in every single adult novels and adult woman and adult man, and I'm not willing to give up autonomy of imagination for society quite yet.
