The Day They Came to Arrest the Book (Laurel-Leaf Books)

Who would have believed that The Adventure ofÂ Â Huckleberry Finn could cause the worst crisis in theÂ Â history of George Mason High School? Certainly notÂ Â Barney Roth, editor of the school paper. But whenÂ Â a small but vocal group of students and parentsÂ Â decide that the book is racist, sexist, andÂ Â immoral--and should be removed from reading lists and theÂ Â school library--Barney takes matters into his ownÂ Â hands.

When the Huck Finn issueÂ Â comes up for a hearing, Barney decides to print hisÂ Â story about previous censorship efforts at school.Â Â He's sure that investigative reporting andÂ Â publicity can help the cause. But is he too late to turnÂ Â the tide of censorship?
