However, in a letter to Olson from the National Coalition Against Censorship (NCAC), backed by organisations including PEN America and the National Council of Teachers of English, the group of free-speech organisations say: “There is no basis to conclude that a book is pervasively vulgar simply because it contains a number of instances of profanity.” The Globe explains that Henning is a small town, of approximately 800 residents, with a library that is used by K-12 students (from kindergarten to the completion of secondary school) and is not divided by grades. He said he struggled to understand “if the educational need for that outweighs the vulgarity – where is that line?” Olson added that he was “not an advocate of censoring books”, but that “where I draw the line is with something I would determine pervasively vulgar”. There was a lot of inappropriate language,” he told the paper. Superintendent Jeremy Olson told the Daily Globe that it was banned after he, along with the school librarian and the principal of the school, found the topics it covered to be “inappropriate for inclusion in the library”. Cousins Mariko and Jillian Tamaki, the team behind Skim, have collaborated on this gorgeous, heartbreaking, and ultimately hopeful story about a girl on the cusp of childhood - a story of renewal and revelation.This One Summer by Jillian and Mariko Tamaki, published by First Second Photograph: Macmillanīut earlier this month, it was pulled from the shelves of the school library in Henning, Minnesota, following a complaint from a parent.

One of the local teens - just a couple of years older than Rose and Windy - is caught up in something bad. Rose's mom and dad won't stop fighting, and when Rose and Windy seek a distraction from the drama, they find themselves with a whole new set of problems. Rosie's friend Windy is always there, too, like the little sister she never had. Every summer, Rose goes with her mom and dad to a lake house in Awago Beach.
