Great review!

I just tried to do a search to find out why this book was challenged. Some of the books on the children’s banned/challenged list seem obvious of reasons — sexually explicit, vulgar language, etc. I’m not saying these are reasons to BAN a book, but most of these books have more or less obvious reasons why *some* people have a problem with them. It’s interesting that even after you read Hush, you weren’t sure!

I’m embarassed to admit, I’ve never heard of this author before. I’m going to have to add Hush to my TBR list! Thanks!

Sounds like another great one! I’ve turned into a total fangirl.

Keren – Oh do read this one. Woodson is a Newbery author, so I think she’s pretty popular over here. And yes, having banned books week in the first place is sad. Honestly, I wouldn’t trust all children to be able to judge for themselves but I think that from a young age that parents need to help them make those judgements so they can then make them on their own later. But having somebody else’s parent saying that my child can’t read a book, is something else entirely.

Sandy – Seriously. I had to think long and hard to just come up with that one example.

Janssen – You want to NBF too!!!!!! Sigh . . . So sad, I wasn’t there. I met Woodson at LA Festival of Books and she was simply amazing. Feathers was the first book that I ever read from Woodson and my review says that I didn’t love it either. Fortunately, she’s only gone up from there and she’s officially an author to geek out over.

Kathleen – Exactly! It’s a fantastic book and definitely a good read.

I can’t imagine having to reinvent yourself at 12 when you haven’t even become who you are going to be. This sounds like a good read!
