I had read every book on the list except for any Chris Crutcher - so I went to add him to my GoodReads list and Deadline and Whale Tale were already on my "to read" list. lol.<br /><br />I would love to have one of my books banned one day! That means I'm writing something interesting and wide-spread enough for people to care enough to ban it. hahaha.<br /><br />DanikaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9124298039392938540.post-44923767511080124682012-10-09T21:08:26.332-04:002012-10-09T21:08:26.332-04:00Thanks, Akoss.

The school group...Yeah, I thought it was crazy too. The school group that banned it mentioned the abuse at the hands of his aunts -- he's locked in the basement and has to sleep on the floor -- and this was long before Harry Potter! They also complained about drug and alcohol use -- and magic elements!<br /><br />Thanks, Michael. Good point about the banned books being the ones we remember. Joanne R.
