The top 10 most frequently challenged books of 2005 are:
- It’s Perfectly Normal by Robie H. Harris
- Forever by Judy Blume
- The Catcher in the Rye by J. D. Salinger
- The Chocolate War by Robert Cormier
- Whale Talk by Chris Crutcher
- Detour for Emmy by Marilyn Reynolds
- What My Mother Doesn’t Know by Sonya Sones
- Captain Underpants series by Dav Pilkey
- Crazy Lady! by Jane Leslie Conly
- It’s So Amazing! by Robie H. Harris
Whenever I see a list like this, it makes me want to go out and borrow all of them, read all of them. I don’t think that’s quite the reaction the challengers want.
