YA
Illustrated by
Debbie Fong.
This anthology -- featuring targeted authors such as Maia Kobabe, Elana K. Arnold, Bill Konigsberg, and Ellen Hopkins -- serves as a guide for young people concerned about book banning and censorship in their communities. The personal essays (some quite dark), poetry, graphic stories, illustrations, and short fiction powerfully advocate against bans and support the value of the voices being removed from shelves. Book lists and additional resources, including practical advice for fighting bans at your school or library, are included throughout.
