You've Got A Freakin' Dart In Your Book, Man.

GOOD.is presented an awesome, hands-on/mouse-on, interactive targeted books page. The Most Targeted Books lists 10 of the most pulled books from libraries for 2009. Always wanting to ruffle a few feathers, I'd most likely be the one who would intentionally introduce these books into a classroom or recommend them to others. I was also really drawn into this page because it features 2 of my favorite books ever: The Perks of Being a Wallflower and The Catcher in the Rye. To be honest, I have two copies of Perks sitting in my private high school office right now.

I was shocked that My Sister's Keeper was the worst listed book. I watched the movie a few months ago and didn't think it was anything too bad. While some themes are probably not ok for an elementary student, I believe that most high schoolers are mature enough for the content (assuming the book and movie follow some sort of the same plot and story line). I'm a firm believer in the "as long as the students are reading, who cares" philosophy.

None of these books, besides crappy Twilight, deserves to be on any banned book list!
