ALA Banned and Challenged Books Pt 3
21. To Kill A Mockingbird, by Harper Lee
It's one of the best books ever, what can I say?
22. Gossip Girl (series), by Cecily von Ziegesar
I've been waiting weeks for this one so it'll be reviewed later.
23. The Giver, by Lois Lowry
I liked this one and might go for the rest of the series someday. Why is this one banned?
24. In the Night Kitchen, by Maurice Sendak
Such a pretty loopy book.
25. Killing Mr. Griffin, by Lois Duncan
I read this in Jr. High and disliked all of the characters except for Mr. Griffin.
26. Beloved, by Toni Morrison
Joe gave me this book, "It'll screw with your head." That it did.
27. My Brother Sam Is Dead, by James Lincoln Collier
Poorly written.
28. Bridge To Terabithia, by Katherine Paterson
I read this many times as a child, and once out loud to John as we drove across Wyoming. Impossible not to cry buckets.
29. The Face on the Milk Carton, by Caroline B. Cooney
No idea why this one is banned. Pretty boring.
30. We All Fall Down, by Robert Cormier
This guy is so Bret Easton Ellis for kids. He wrote The Chocolate War as well.
