What My Mother Doesn't Know / Sonya Sones / 259 pages / October Challenge Banned Books
This book was banned in 2008 in Spring Hill, Wisconsin. It was made available only to seventh and eighth graders at the Spring Hill school library after a parent wanted the book, which "deals with masturbation, groping, and sexual fantasies, among other themes", to be removed from the library and the Accelerated Reader Program. The book's cover shows a rather young - much younger than seventh grade - girl hiding behind her hands, which together with the title would surely attract young girls. It is quite humorous in parts, but imparts too much information too soon.
