Most Challenged and Banned Books in the US 2001-2020 - Page 2

Taken from the top 10 banned and challenged books for each year on the ALA Banned and Challenged Books website https://www.ala.org/advocacy/bbooks/frequentlychallengedbooks/top10
The list is in chronological order from books first entry in the top 10 for each year, many books are challenged in multiple years. Sometimes a whole series of books is challenged. Where an individual book is challenged and later the whole series is challenged I have put a series option in too.
For a land of free speech - there is not free reading.
