5. Ban This Book by Alan Gratz
It all started the day Amy Anne Ollinger tried to check out her favourite book, From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler, from the school library. That's when Mrs. Jones, the librarian, told her the bad news: the book was banned. All because a parent thought it inappropriate for children. Amy Anne decides to fight back by starting a secret banned books library out of her locker. Soon, she finds herself on the front line of an unexpected battle over book banning, censorship, and who has the right to decide what she and her fellow students can read. Ban This Book is a love letter to the written word and its power to give kids a voice.
