It is hard to reach for these classics with so many great new books distracting us but it will be worth it.Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11236569596711092011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6095986657929980606.post-81321856968498761792016-09-28T10:03:17.087-04:002016-09-28T10:03:17.087-04:00I find out all the banned and challenged books fro...I find out all the banned and challenged books from the American Library Association website - http://www.ala.org/bbooks/about<br /><br />The reasons for banning or challenging The Giver are most often for violence and it is not suited to the age group, or too dark for young readers. The place it is most often challenged is in Texas but has been challenged in several states. <br /><br />I was wondering when we get to see them again because the next book synopsis had no mention of either of them. I may have to give it a shot.Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11236569596711092011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6095986657929980606.post-15972730937993315042016-09-28T01:31:11.072-04:002016-09-28T01:31:11.072-04:00This is one I've been meaning to read forever....This is one I've been meaning to read forever. Just so I can say I have, really. It's not too long and I think I'd like it well enough but I still never pick it up. :(Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05738740015526095835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6095986657929980606.post-34520421791674965222016-09-27T18:33:17.534-04:002016-09-27T18:33:17.534-04:00Love this book!

The other books are about different characters. Kamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13544522373726447697noreply@blogger.com
