It is that time of the year to get your subversive on and the ALA is doing their part in promoting Banned Books Week. Here’s the Top Ten (I’ve starred what I’ve read):
- Scary Stories (Series) by Alvin Schwartz
- Daddy’s Roommate by Michael Willhoite
- I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou*
- The Chocolate War by Robert Cormier*
- The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain*
- Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck*
- Harry Potter (Series) by J.K. Rowling
- Forever by Judy Blume*
- Bridge to Terabithia by Katherine Paterson*
- Alice (Series) by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor
Six out of ten isn’t back especially considering that they were required reading when I was a kid. So what are you waiting for? Thumb your nose at those nogoodnicks and read something literate that’ll make them squirm.
