We <i>do</i> get the occasional bible belt-person who makes noises about Harry Potter, but i don't think they're getting much track outside of their own (small) communities. will keep an eye on that, though. i feel so fortunate to be living in a place where very little banning of books goes on. just yesterday my little kid (who’s 6) came home from school with enthusiastic stories of a book the teacher was reading to them. it’s called don’t bite the neighbours, about a mother who’s a zombie and three kids: a werewolf, a vampire and a ghost. they just want to fit into the neighbourhood, but the next-door neighbour has other plans.

Salinger. It was accused of turning children into communists. The Alice series is always good, too. The only book that I absolutely love that was almost banned was The Catcher in the Rye by J.D.
