Summary

Features works that have made ALA's "10 Most Frequently Challenged Books" list

Each year, the American Library Association receives reports of hundreds of attempts to ban books from schools or libraries, with many other censorship efforts remaining unreported. The engaging, student-friendly titles in the Our Freedom to Read set examine popular young-adult books that have been banned or challenged. Each fascinating entry summarizes the content of a particular book under assault and then tells the story of how the book was challenged—and in many cases, how that challenge was resisted by courageous defenders working to preserve our freedom to read what we choose.
