The 100 Most Frequently Challenged Books of 1990-2001

Note: The "Sex" book is by Madonna.
From The Book of Lists for Teens (2002), by Sandra and Harry Choron. Some of these are understandable; others are pretty baffling. (The list image shows why "Where's Waldo?" was banned.)
I've included the individual Alice books up to 2001, and the entire Anastasia series, but not Goosebumps. There are 67 just in the original series. If you've read any Goosebumps book, check it off.
