Editorial Review

“With library and school book bans in the news, students may wish to learn more about the rationale, history, legalities, and impacts of this hot-button topic. The accessible text and inclusion of historical images and sources demonstrate that book banning is not a new phenomenon. . . While this timely Gateway Headlines series (4 titles) offering is aimed at upper elementary and middle-school students, older readers will also find it edifying.”—starred, Booklist
