The 100 Most Frequently Challenged Books of 1990–2000

Add to my lists | Print this list

"Out of 6,364 challenges reported to or recorded by the Office for Intellectual Freedom, as compiled by the Office for Intellectual Freedom, American Library Association. (See Background Information: 1990–2000 under The Most Frequently Challenged Books of 2000.) The ALA Office for Intellectual Freedom does not claim comprehensiveness in recording challenges. Research suggests that for each challenge reported there are as many as four or five which go unreported."

Hmm.. — 6 years ago

Okay, there was a mistake in this list – number 35 was supposed to be We All Fall Down by Robert Cormier, not whoever it was by on this list.

Grr, I tried to edit it, and messed up. I could only delete number 35, not add to it. How do you add to it?
