I work at a middle school and occasionally read new books our librarian has ordered to make sure they are appropriate for 6th graders. I'm quite liberal in my views so she likes my input. I flagged one book recently because of gratuitous sex and free use of the f-word, a few more for much the same reasons. These books are sent to the high school. We do censor, but more for language and situations - not for ideas. Some books are just not appropriate for 11-12 yr olds.

We have lots of books dealing with abuse, teens growing up with the usual teen problems, fantasy books where the characters go to hell, kill gods, make magic. We have the trilogy and have heard no complaints.
