The American Library Association announced that Maia Kobabe's graphic memoir 'Gender Queer' was the most 'challenged' book of 2022, the second consecutive year it has topped the list.
NEW YORK — With Florida legislators barring even the mention of being gay in classrooms and similar restrictions under consideration in other states, a report released Monday says books with LGBTQ+ themes remain the most likely targets of bans or attempted bans at public schools and libraries around the country.
Other books facing similar trials include George M. Johnson's"All Boys Aren't Blue," Mike Curato's"Flamer," Stephen Chbosky's"The Perks of Being a Wallflower," John Green's"Looking for Alaska," Jonathan Evison's"Lawn Boy" and Juno Dawson's"This Book Is Gay." The ALA usually compiles a Top 10 list, but this year expanded it to 13 because the books ranked 10 to 13 were in a virtual tie.
