Every year, the American Library Association releases a list of the ten most-challenged books from the past year. These are the books that receive the most formal, written complaints — for various reasons — with requests to have them removed from classrooms or libraries. The ALA releases this list to help raise awareness of intellectual freedom, and as a precursor to Banned Books Week, happening later this year.
Here’s this year’s list from the ALA:
1) ttyl; ttfn; l8r, g8r (series), by Lauren Myracle
2) The Color of Earth (series), by Kim Dong Hwa
3) The Hunger Games trilogy, by Suzanne Collins
4) My Mom’s Having A Baby! A Kid’s Month-by-Month Guide to Pregnancy, by Dori Hillestad Butler
5) The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian, by Sherman Alexie
6) Alice (series), by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor
7) Brave New World, by Aldous Huxley
8) What My Mother Doesn’t Know, by Sonya Sones
9) Gossip Girl (series), by Cecily Von Ziegesar
10) To Kill a Mockingbird, by Harper Lee
For the comments: Which of this year’s most-challenged books have you read?
Novel Novice 
Whaaaaat? To Kill A Mockingbird? Brave New World? Those are classics! Who would complain about those?
I’ve read the Hunger Games, Brave New World, and What My Mother Doesn’t know. All great reads!
