his week is National Banned Books week. Or at least my language arts teacher says it is. She read a long list of the top 150 books that were considered for banning in the past 10 years. Lord of the Rings was I think somewhere in the thirties? But the number one book was one of the Harry Potter books. Another book was the giver, and a bunch of other books that people though promoted devilry and satanism... but what I don't get is, if the parents dont want their children reading it, why does it have to be banned from ALLLLLLLLLL kids???
