thewayneI should have gotten this out a few days ago, but you know how it goes.
This is a list from the American Library Association showing the books most frequently challenged in the 21st century. For 2010, the most challenged books are: 1) And Tango Makes Three, by Peter Parnell and Justin Richardson; 2) The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian, by Sherman Alexie; 3) Brave New World, by Aldous Huxley; 4) Crank, by Ellen Hopkins; 5) The Hunger Games, by Suzanne Collins; 6) Lush, by Natasha Friend; 7) What My Mother Doesn't Know, by Sonya Sones; 8) Nickel and Dimed, by Barbara Ehrenreich; 9) Revolutionary Voices, edited by Amy Sonnie; 10) Twilight, by Stephenie Meyer. Tango Makes Three made every year going back to 2006. A challenge is when someone complains and wants a book removed from circulation.
