Want to know the reason A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L’Engle is banned? "One scene in particular—which depicts Jesus, Gandhi, Einstein, & the Buddha standing together against the forces of evil—offended Christians who thought L’Engle was equating these four figures." https://t.co/q3dxBWrja4

@jenimc So many highlights! For me, One was Michael Meyer's (no, not that one) book, Benjamin Franklin's Last Bet about the end of his life and his will. Also LOVE #LornaLandvik. Her humor in her books is tremendous (Mayor of the Universe takes place in SD!)

Out of stock

The crazy reason the book, Holes by Louis Sachar was banned? Sachar’s world-renowned classic was banned because of child labor, violence and morality. Have you read Holes? Run out and read it now! #bannedbooks https://t.co/7JbYROhngr

Do you want to know the ridiculous reason John Green's book, The Fault in our Stars was banned in one place? "The...novel which focuses on the story of two teenagers who are both dying from cancer was banned as parents complained there was too much death, illness and sex." https://t.co/BjdWLqNMpX

Today I picked up a copy of Judy Blume’s book, Forever, to use in a banned book project. I was so surprised after all these years and multiple printings that page 97 still held the words we all tried to read in the 80s. #bannedbooks #thanksJudyBlume https://t.co/UPyn7rSK9J
