I’d choose Perks because I’ve been wanting to read it for awhile. The books on that list are quite shocking actually, my library has a display up showing a couple of them and Harry Potter is on there.. Perks was on there, The Giver was on there. Apparently To Kill a Mockingbird and Of Mice and Men are on there, why I don’t know.

They can be challenged for a number of reasons, usually religion, sex or violence are the main issues, but luckily rarely is a book actually banned altogether, but it can be removed from a curriculum or taken off the shelf in stores. Great pick!
