Frankweiler\u003c\/i\u003e, from the school library. That's when Mrs. Jones, the librarian, told her the bad news: her favourite book was banned! All because a classmate's mum thought the book wasn't appropriate for kids to read.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAmy Anne decides to fight back by starting a secret banned-books library out of her locker. The battle of the books escalates when she engineers a campaign to challenge every book in the school library.

The mouse in the room in \u003ci\u003eGoodnight Moon\u003c\/i\u003e is a health code violation!
