Current strategy is "keep the house extremely well-stocked with non-banal, non-problematic age-appropriate reading material, and hope for the best." (Note to self: ask mother-in-law if she still has that Lemony Snicket boxed set.)
As a matter of principle*, I don't like the idea of banning a book from the house, so I would consider letting my daughter read it if (e.g.) she only wanted to read it because her friend's Christian mom says it's Satanic, but even then, I'm sure we could come up with some much, much better Satanic reading material than that.
*The principle at play here isn't :freeze-peach:, it's "as a parent you can only make a certain number of totalitarian gestures per year before they start to backfire."
