    Tamika, Keep an eye on Chuck's site. He does the contest periodically and it's always for a different genre!

    I entered, Heather. But I have strange luck. I don't win prizes -- except for the "right guy at the wrong place at the worst time" contest.

    Thanks for dropping by my blog and giving such a great comment. Roland

Nearly every one of the great Ellen Hopkins's novels has been banned somewhere. She writes about things that challenge kids today, sex, drugs, prostitution, terrible things for sure, but things kids are dealing with whether we like it or not. Laurie Halse Anderson's Speak, about a girl who is raped, is banned in many places. Others may surprise you such as The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants by Ann Brashares, Harry Potter by J.K.
