Item Description
Book banning, a form of censorship, occurs when private individuals, government officials, or organizations remove books from libraries, school reading lists, or bookstore shelves because they object to their content, ideas, or themes. Those advocating a ban complain typically that the book in question contains graphic violence, expresses disrespect for parents and family, is sexually explicit, exalts evil, lacks literary merit, is unsuitable for a particular age group, or includes offensive language.
Today, people are challenging banned books across America by purchasing them at local bookstores that still carry them. This basket includes the following young adult titles:
- The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky
- The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton
- The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas
- The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood
- Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe by Benjamin Alire Saenz
- Anne Frank's Diary: The Graphic Adaptation by Anne Frank (adapted by Ari Folman; illustrations by David Polonsky)
