Each year, the American Library Association receives reports of hundreds of attempts to ban books from schools or libraries, with many other censorship efforts remaining unreported. The engaging, student-friendly titles in the new ""Our Freedom to Read"" set examine popular young-adult books that have been banned or challenged. Each fascinating entry summarizes the content of a particular book under assault and then tells the story of how the book was challenged - and in many cases, how that challenge was resisted by courageous defenders working to preserve our freedom to read what we choose.
