Quick to read, fun for book lovers, and empowering for those who sometimes struggle speaking up for themselves. This book was an excellent family read aloud title and sparked a lot of great conversation with my two elementary school kids…

Review from when I was ten?: "I found this book at the library. By 9:15 I'd finished it. Yep, it was one of those books that I spend every moment on, barely stopping to eat and do my nightly routine. It touches on a topic that is rarely…

this was a great book and it was in a way a big random book that authors sometimes write its not about Alan Gratz usual topics of wars around the world or a major event but instead about a common debate of what kids should read. It…

I read 'Suggested Reading' by David Connis, published in 2019, and I loved it. It's only a few months later that I discovered that Alan Gratz had written, in 2017, a book with the exact same idea (student fights the banning of the books by…

As a library professional, I love the message this book tells and how the characters went about fighting for censorship!

This is the quintessential Banned Books Week book for middle grade. It features, throughout, titles of books that have been at one time or another banned in libraries for various reasons. Fourth grader Amy tries to check out her favorite…

This book brings to thought that the power of books and the written word is remarkable.

This was a random read I picked up in the children’s section while looking for a Roald Dahl book. I was interested because of the title, and I wasn’t disappointed. I enjoyed the story of the problems with censorship and learning to speak…

This was an awesome book! I don't rate books with 5 stars often, but this one definitely got it!! It shows readers the importance of the First Amendment and that you should stand up for the things you know are right. I loved the main…

I loved this book and its love for books and libraries! It's a very charming story of standing up for what's right and learning to speak up. It was fun to read as a library worker who grew up with many of the banned books listed, and I'm…

As a grownup, I enjoyed this book very much!! I now want to read all the books that were in the banned list. Quick read. Thought provoking. Great development of main character from timid and meek girl into someone who speaks out for what…

When Amy Anne's favorite book is removed from her school library, she wants to speak out, but can't. That's a hard thing for a lot of kids to do! Instead, she starts running a banned books library out of her locker. There are…

I enjoyed Ban This Book. It's the story of a girl whose favourite library book has been removed from her school's collection on the challenge by one parent. This parent then uses her power of the school to have other popular titles banned…

This book was really fun!!! I would recommend this book to kids who want to be lawyers, and for people who like reading banned books. Reason that this book might be banned: 1) Way to awesome, 2) Teaches kids to stand up for what they…
