Leaves are falling, pumpkins are plumping, and books are being banned. It must be fall. This year, if you’re going to survive Banned Books Week, I thought I’d provide you with ten essentials featured prominently in ten of the most challenged young adult novels. This way you can arm yourself with the knowledge, and items, that the parents in your community are protecting you from. Because as we all know, if you don’t read about taboo things in books, then of course, they will never affect you.

So get your flashlights, bottled water, and canned goods ready, then be sure to add the following items to your Banned Books Survival Kit.

Gentle readers: get your smelling salts. Writers: hang on to your berets. This is a whirlwind of a week!  And as always, remember this is but a gust of the exhilarating literary weather of Philadelphia, back in full force for fall.

Love,
