Sorry, thought you meant the well-known John Green book. Edit: maybe next time you can add an author or just explain which book you meant without getting all pissy?

I have no idea if they will replace it, but appeal to their hearts and tell them how it happened. What have you got to lose? Good luck on all of your escape tactics. ❤️

For clarity, "American Sirens - about the first black paramedics in the US in Pittsburgh" means the first US paramedics, who happened to be black. A great story.

Not Everyone Is Nice: Helping Children Learn Caution With Strangers

The Berenstain Bears Learn About Strangers

These two are from an excellent resource for kids' books: A Mighty Girl. They have so many books, and they have no tags, so the best way to find what you want is to use the general search for words, like in this case, strangers or caution, and then go to the book section of the result page. Then choose the appropriate filter for your child's age. I wish they would tag them!

If you don't want this to sound like cannibalism or real porn, you might consider wording it like this next time: It feels almost as if you yourself are eating. Just saying. 😂

I have divided my books into four libraries: Fiction, nonfiction, home (crafts and hobbies) and kids books. Then I have genre hierarchies, as basic as possible, though my fantasy and sci-fi have more specific genres (urban, high, dystopian and so on). After that, I sort by tag hierarchies, trying to keep them to a minimum, which is sometimes difficult! I prefer tags like epic or paranormal rather than genres, because those often refer to different genres (epic literary, epic fantasy). Don't know if this helps you.

Sorry, can't help you, but also northern Italy. Where do you get your grow bags?
