When fourth grader Amy Anne Ollinger finds out her favorite book has been banned from the library, she creates a secret banned books library in her school locker for her fellow students. Publishers Weekly called this middle-grade novel 'a book lover’s book that speaks volumes about kids’ power to effect change at a grassroots level.'
