Suggested Reading
A teenager rebels against her school’s book bans in this thoughtful, funny novel: “Engrossing . . . a timely read that will ultimately prove timeless.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review) Clara Evans is horrified when she discovers her principal’s “prohibited media” hit list. The iconic books on the list have been pulled from the library and aren’t allowed anywhere on the school’s premises. Students caught with the contraband will be punished. Many of these books have changed Clara’s life, so she’s not going to sit back and watch while her draconian principal abuses his power. She’s going to strike back.

With lyric eloquence, Albert Camus brilliantly posits a way out of despair, reaffirming the value of personal existence, and the possibility of life lived with dignity and authenticity.
