Read These Banned Books - ALA American Library Association Challenge

A list from: Read These Banned Books: A Journal and Reading Challenge - by ALA - The American Library Association
ISBN: 978-1-7282-6881-1
This 1 year reading journey invites you to celebrate the freedom to read. Included are 52 books that have been challenged or banned as documented by the American Library Association. Your goal is not just to complete each title but also to revel in unrestricted reading. Each week you will be introduced to a new title to read and cross off your list. A short write-up and review from the ALA will whet your appetite for the work, and a paired writing prompt will inspire you to explore and record your thoughts as you read. The selected titles span categories, from fiction to fantasy to graphic novels and more, and all have, at one time or another, been targeted for removal or restriction in schools and libraries. Banning books is a threat to freedom of speech and freedom of choice; reading banned books is an opportunity to stand up for these freedoms.
