Have you read Twilight by Stephanie Meyer? How about The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins? Or Where the Sidewalk Ends by Shel Silverstein?

Every year - yes it still happens! - people try to remove books from libraries, schools, and book stores all over the country because they have content that some people think is inappropriate for teens like you to read.
