Well, it's not exactly content-free, because it might be educational. This is my new journal game. It's called Top Ten.
Rules )
For the first round, I'm celebrating Banned Books Week way out of season. To complete this list, give me one of the top ten most challenged books in school libraries in 2006 (the 2007 list isn't out yet, so this is the latest and greatest). HINT: Harry Potter doesn't make the list this year. People are much more worried about... what?

TOP TEN CHALLENGED BOOKS 2006:
1. “And Tango Makes Three” by Justin Richardson and Peter Parnell, for homosexuality, anti-family, and unsuited to age group (published 2005)
2. (published 2002-2007)
3. “Alice” series by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor for sexual content and offensive language(published 1995-2007)
4. “The Earth, My Butt, and Other Big Round Things” by Carolyn Mackler for sexual content, anti-family, offensive language, and unsuited to age group(published 2004)
5. “The Bluest Eye” by Toni Morrison for sexual content, offensive language, and unsuited to age group (published 1970)
6. “Scary Stories” series by Alvin Schwartz for occult/Satanism, unsuited to age group, violence, and insensitivity(published 1981-2006)

CLUE: I'm adding publication dates to the blanks. Dates listed as a range represent a series.
