This award winning book is about a young Nepalese girl who is sold into sexual slavery in India. I've read it, and it was extremely touching and horrifying. It was incredibly necessary to provide a glimpse into a world that many kids suffer thru every day around the world.
Of course, the book has been banned or challenged 24 times this year in the US.
Have you read this book? There was also a movie made about it as well.
Went to my library and found that Harry Potter is a banned book somewhere
No how dare you teach anything to kids that makes them feel uncomfortable ๐
By banned do you mean unable to be purchased by a private citizen by any legal means?
Removed from school libraries in any school district in the US.
Got it. So it's banned if elected, accountable officials decline to use taxpayer funds to purchase a book that might not be age appropriate.
