Good for Girls to Know

Question:

 

 

I read some Emails about Alice books being “censored” in librarys. what does that mean? is that why my middle school didnt have the new ones last year? Do they take words out of the books or even chapters?

I hope not because The things you write about are good for girls to know!

Nobody takes words or chapters out of books, though some teachers may omit words when reading chapters aloud to the class.  Books are more likely to be challenged by a parent or sometimes by a teacher or a member of the community.  Usually this person wants a book removed from the library for one reason or another.  Middle schools sometimes won’t buy the Alice books once she reaches 15 or 16.  Look for the newest books in your high school or public library.
