After a parent does not follow the appropriate process yet bans her favorite book, Amy Anne begins to collect the banned books to create a library of her own. This book lends itself to many discussions regarding book challenges and banning. The end of the book also provides discussion topics and additional activities that can be used for teaching purposes. ( ) With all the book bans going on in this country, I figured it was time to read this one. It's fantastic, and I think every kid should read this! For shy fourth-grader Amy, the school library is her refuge from her noisy family; the librarian really gets her, and books like From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler offer her an escape from a life in which she never says what's on her mind because she's supposed to be the good, well-behaved girl. When a "concerned parent" bans her favorite book--sidestepping the usual review process because she school board loves her other community contributions--and eleven others, she wants to take action...but her shyness trips her up. The book ban has the opposite effect--suddenly the school kids, even those who don't read a lot, are interested in reading those verboten books! And everyone knows that Amy the bookworm can hook them up...especially when she and some close friends decide to round up every banned book they own and open a secret library in her locker so that any kid can read the books for themselves. Amy's on edge, but also making more friends than she ever thought she could. Meanwhile, she's still struggling with a family that doesn't understand her need for a little privacy, peace, and quiet. I'm sure this book could be banned for many of the same reasons that the books banned in the story (all of which have really been banned for those very real reasons in real life): disobeying parents, skipping classes, thinking about running away, breaking rules by bringing banned books to school. In that sense, the title is particularly apt. I really love how Gratz handled this story. It could have been so easy to make Amy a total victim of bullying, to make the concerned mother and her son straight-up villains, to give Amy a crush, to make her do a 360 into confidence at the end of the book. Instead, A book every kid should read! This is a fantastic read for older elementary to middle school aged children. As an adult, I highly enjoyed reading this book as well. Alan Gratz walks us through the trials and tribulations of students working to counteract the book banning process happening in their school library. When they create their own library, providing access to the banned literature, many students become interested in reading and the activism around their fight. These students ultimately end up speaking up to the school board, showing children the importance of standing up for what you believe in, and providing free, uncensored access to literature in a public setting. This book connects to topics such as challenged/banned literature in real life, activism, youth social engagement and community building. This book is a great tool for discussions in the classroom around social-justice movements in the local community. This book is inclusive, showing a young black girl as the main character, with a family that engages in their own dynamic journey to better support her and her friends in their mission. One quote that really spoke to me in this book was: “Every person should be free to read whatever they want, whenever they want, and not have to explain to anyone else why we like it, or why we think it’s valuable” (Alan Gratz). This is a great story for all of us reading nerds -- girl goes to school to check out her absolutely favorite book again and it's been taken off the shelves because a parent was concerned. It's a little didactic, I have to say, a little preachy here and there. But I don't mind that because I wholeheartedly agree with the message, and I love love love the empowerment that happens here. Amy Anne goes from a girl who can't speak her mind to one who's passionate for a cause. The boundaries about how to determine bad behavior from thoughtful protest are well drawn, and the whole thing is at a good level for 4-5th graders. Nicely done. Also love that AA is a girl of color with an interesting family and some really good friends. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

A fourth grader fights back when From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler by E. L. Konigsburg is challenged by a well-meaning parent and taken off the shelves of her school library. Amy Anne is shy and soft-spoken, but don't mess with her when it comes to her favorite book in the whole world. Amy Anne and her lieutenants wage a battle for the books as they start a secret banned books locker library, make up ridiculous reasons to ban every single book in the library to make a point, and take a stand against censorship.
