Presented by Amazon       By Amy Joyce  Email Does summer even exist without a pile of books to be read? (In my house, one son would adamantly agree, the other, not so much.) Reading was always my go-to in the warm months, so much so that I would usually have finished most of my new books from the back of the station wagon by the time we got to whatever our summer vacation destination was. Many of those books, which opened my eyes, taught me about a world outside of mine, or spoke to me in such a way where I felt like someone out there got me, have been challenged or banned in various forms. Controversy surrounding books is nothing new. But the push this past year to pull books from shelves is like none many of us have seen before. (Check out what these teens have done.) We reached out to some wonderful authors and reading advocates for their favorite banned or challenged books our kids and teens should read this summer. Come on in to see what LeVar Burton, Kate DiCamillo and others suggest that you add to your child's stack of good reads this summer. Perhaps you will find the only thing dangerous about these books is if they are hidden away.
