6 Children’s Books Featured on the 2012 Top Ten Challenged Books List
Dav Pilkey’s Captain Underpants book series captured the top spot for reasons that include “offensive language” and “unsuited for age group.” Peter Parnell and Justin Richardson’s And Tango Makes Three picture book and Alvin Schwartz’s Scary Stories series came in at #5 and #8. Three young adult novels also made it onto the list: The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian by Sherman Alexie, Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher, and Looking for Alaska by John Green.
