This post is part of a series that I posted on my old blog in September 2012. I am redoing them here over the next few weeks. Part one, part two, and part three.
Here are the top 46-60 most commonly challenged books from 2000-2009, according to the ALA. The bold ones I have read. My comments below the title. The links lead to their Amazon.com pages. In the case of a series, it either goes to a box set, or the first book in the series.
46. Slaughterhouse-Five, by Kurt Vonnegut
Yet another classic I have not yet read.
47. The Adventures of Super Diaper Baby: The First Graphic Novel by George Beard and Harold Hutchins, the creators of Captain Underpants, by Dav Pilkey
I think the title probably tells you all you need to know about this one. Believe it or not, I have not read it, and do not plan to. :)
48. Rainbow Boys, by Alex Sanchez
I had not heard of this book before, but after reading the Amazon description, I intend to read it soon.
49. One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, by Ken Kesey
50. The Kite Runner, by Khaled Hosseini
51. Daughters of Eve, by Lois Duncan
Yikes. Creepy looking.
52. The Great Gilly Hopkins, by Katherine Paterson
53. You Hear Me?, by Betsy Franco
54. The Facts Speak for Themselves, by Brock Cole
55. Summer of My German Soldier, by Bette Green
One of my all time favorite books. When I first read this book, at the age of eight, it was the first time that a book made me think in a way that I was unaccustomed to. It made a big impact on me.
56. When Dad Killed Mom, by Julius Lester
57. Blood and Chocolate, by Annette Curtis Klause
58. Fat Kid Rules the World, by K.L. Going
59. Olive’s Ocean, by Kevin Henkes
60. Speak, by Laurie Halse Anderson
That's it for today. Come back tomorrow for 15 more books.
I have read 14/60 of the books for far. What about you? Have you read any of the ones I have not? If you post a short (1-3 sentaces) comment about he book in the comments I will edit it into the post. If possible, I want comments about every single book!
