bartzturkeymom's "The ALA's 100 Most Frequently Challenged Books of 1990-2000"

Add to my lists | Print this list

Each year, the American Library Association (ALA) records hundreds of attempts by individuals and groups to have books removed from libraries shelves and from classrooms. These are those books most banned between the years 1990 and 2000.

NOTE: Anywhere I have included a "box set" this indicates that the entire series has been challened/banned at some point, but this list format has no way to indicate a WHOLE series, so I have tried to place those by using box sets…to demonstrate that it is not a single book that needs to be read.

NOTE ON MY NOTE: Yes, if I’ve marked off a "box set" that means I’ve read the entire series…no mean feat in some cases…how many books ARE there in that Goosebumps series anway…sheesh!
