Description:

When Amy Anne Ollinger reaches for her beloved From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler, school librarian Mrs. Jones delivers crushing news: it's banned—thanks to one parent's "inappropriate" gripe. Outraged, fourth-grader Amy Anne ignites rebellion, launching a clandestine locker library stocked with forbidden gems.

The war escalates hilariously: she challenges every school book under absurd pretenses—"The Lorax* smears loggers! Goodnight Moon's mouse flouts health codes!"—sparking a fierce clash over censorship, free speech, and kids' reading rights. Rallying friends, Amy Anne battles parents and policies in this Frindle-style ode to literature's might (ages 9+). A rousing love letter to the written word—proving one girl's voice can topple bans and hand power back to young readers!
