(4) YA Illustrated by Jonathan Hill. Reed and Hill explore one teen’s reaction when townspeople call for removal of his favorite fantasy series from the public library. The graphic novel format (incorporating excerpts from the fictional series) keeps the confrontations vivid, emphasizing the universality of Neil's struggle to be heard. Teens may relate to Neil, even though treatment of the censorship debate is simplistic.
