📖Recommend for Grades 8 and up📖
Suggested Reading
by Dave Connis
Clara Evans shouldn't be reading her private school librarian's e-mail, but she does. In it, she discovers a list of "prohibited media" that will be put into effect this school year. As an avid reader and lover of books, she is shocked and angered by this list. After pulling the books from the shelves, she is supposed to distribute them to her tiny libraries. Instead, she opens an underground library right under the administration's nose. Now she is circulating dozens of banned books to her friends and classmates, developing new relationships all because of the books. When a horrible incident occurs, Clara blames herself and begins to wonder if maybe the books should be banned.
Suggested Reading is a fictional story, but many of the books on the school's list are often frequently challenged. This has happened in school (public and private) as well as public libraries across the country. When it comes to Clara, she isn't the most likable character, but any reader will feel her anger of the prohibited media list. Her friends and allies she finds along the way are all more enjoyable than Clara and help shape the story.
