Hit List: Frequently Challenged Books for Young Adults

This Hit List and its companion of challenged books for children are must reads for anyone interested in issues of censorship. By briefly reviewing and offering bibilographic references for further research into frequently challenged books, the book provides a service for those who must defend a given selection, be it a teacher, a librarian, a parent, or other concerned citizen. Those chosing to question a given title would also do well to refer to this book for information and back-up to their challenge. Published with intellectual freedom in mind, this title is also an eye-opener for people who have never had to consider the many challenges made to books on library and school shelves throughout this country.
