Goodreads Summary:
In his first book for
young adults, bestselling author Sherman Alexie tells the story of
Junior, a budding cartoonist growing up on the Spokane Indian

high school where the only other Indian is the school mascot.
Heartbreaking, funny, and beautifully written, The Absolutely True Diary
of a Part-Time Indian, which is based on the author's own experiences,

ReplyDelete"Slaughterhouse Five" by Kurt Vonnegut! It's an amazing book that surprised me in a lot of ways. So strange to think that anyone would want to ban it! It's amazing! :)
ReplyDeleteProbably the Harry Potter series but there are soo many great books that have been banned and many are on my favorites list so it's hard to choose just one! I'm going to re-read The Giver sometime this week as it's been over a decade since I last did but I remember loving it a lot as a kid. :)
ReplyDeleteI loved the Hunger Games and The Giver! Thanks for this amazing giveaway - I would love to win!
