![]() ![]() Many people don’t want even the Harry Potter books to be readily accessible because they are about witchcraft. It is rare for anyone to take it to this extreme, but books will get banned for a sorts of reasons. ![]() There is this mood of extreme helicopter parent that refuses to let their kids grow up and learn for themselves. With very similar issues as Ban This Book, Allison Varnes takes on the idea of censorship and kids fighting back. Soon they have taken away all of June’s books so they can read them themselves, have gotten the librarian suspended, and start a massive censorship issue at the school including a rule of no reading any book that isn’t pre-approved. But when her over-protective parents find her with a book that they don’t approve of, they take their disapproval to extremes. She looks forward to her time going in to the school library and chatting about books with Ms. It left me cheering for June and her friends and shaking my head at some ridiculous ideas that people have about books. Property of the Rebel Librarian is a book that will appeal to any book lover, librarian, or teacher. ![]() Thank you to #kidlitexchange and for a review copy of this book that is being published on September 18, 2018. ![]()
