Ordered. My library has this and I remember liking it when I read it. What a messed up world we live in. Thank you for helping kids so much.

I love OGILVY! The idea that this book (or any book) might be banned would be absurd to me, if the reality of what's happening with the suppression of ideas and identities wasn't so worrisome.

Thank you so much, Jennifer! They're reprinting it, but hopefully available again this summer if you can't find it now!

I believe the school districts were in Florida and Iowa.

I can't believe I haven't seen this yet. Sheesh. I remember when it came out and was so excited for it and it was on my list to get but it somehow, someway slipped through the cracks. Will get it this week.
