Synopsis

Summary

Books are disappearing from shelves across the country. What does this mean for authors, illustrators, and—most crucially—for young readers? In this collection, fifteen authors and illustrators confront the high-stakes question of what is lost when books are kept from teens. Includes an acrostic poem “Read Banned Books” by Cherokee author Traci Sorell.
