You're never too young to fight censorship! It all started the day Amy Anne Ollinger tried to check out From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler from the school library. Mrs. Jones, the librarian, told her the bad news: the book was banned! Just because a classmate’s mom thought it wasn’t appropriate for kids to read.



Amy Anne is shy and soft-spoken, but don’t mess with her when it comes to her favorite book in the whole world. Amy Anne and her lieutenants wage a battle for the books that will make readers laugh and pump their fists as they start a secret banned books locker library, make up ridiculous reasons to ban every single book in the library to make a point, and take a stand against censorship. Reminiscent of the classic novel Frindle by Andrew Clements, Ban This Book is a love letter to the written word and its power to give kids a voice.
