This book came out in 2007 and was Jodi Picoults first book to debut at #1 on the New York Times Best Seller list. The book is an unpacking of a school shooting, following the events that lead up to it and the impact after. It's really really really heavy, so heavy that although I have the book on my to read shelf I haven't touched it yet.
Have you read this book at all? Do you have any thoughts about it?
This book was banned over 7 times last year alone by different school districts across the US. But ironically.. it's because it discusses sexuality and teen dating violence.
No, it's fine! These are basically randomly books that have been challenged in school libraries or removed from school libraries in the US. That's what banned book week is referring to typically.
