As a mother, an author, and a former educator, I believe that no one should have the right to tell my child what he should or shouldn't read besides me. And so, in honor of Banned Books Week, here are a few of my favorite banned or challenged books.
 |
| SPEAK by Laurie Halse Anderson |
 |
| ANIMALIA by Graeme Base |
 |
| WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE by Maurice Sendak |
 |
| THE GIVER by Lois Lowry |
 |
| JAMES AND THE GIANT PEACH by Roald Dahl |
 |
| THE LION, THE WITCH AND THE WARDROBE by C.S. Lewis |
 |
| WHERE'S WALDO by Martin Handford |
 |
| A WRINKLE IN TIME by Madeleine L'Engle |
I have read all of those books, thank goodness I could. Speak is a terribly important book for adolescents.
