I'm just glad to see they actually tell the users that they're screening everything. Whether or not kids read it - well, hell, we all know that... but I prefer to have the warning there then not at all. :) The image I shared is just the beginning of the process – it still goes through the reporting process as I laid out before (with the various clicks to report).

I wonder how many would read and understand the warning..

You just named so many of my favorites! His Dark Materials, The Borrowers.... I also must add Neverwhere (more Neil Gaiman), the Tripods trilogy by John Christopher (starts with The White Mountains), and if you're in the mood for something more grown-up, Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norell is truly fantastic and one of my all-time favorite books.

I'm a bit concerned that this will take away from the great feeling kids get when they walk in wide-eyed into a toy store and run down the aisles looking for the perfect toy.

For example, Dangerous Days by J. William Turner, an Australian author being published in the USA. With the similar thriller-type elements as the Harry Potter series, good vs evil, this is pure biographical fiction set in the early 1980's Try looking to overseas authors for alternatives e.g danger, suspense and adventure without the supernatural/science fiction.
