CENSORED!

Whoever heard of a literary classic being banned from school? Well, that's just what happens at the George Mason High School when a small group of parents and students brand Huckleberry Finn has racist, sexist and immoral, and persuade the principal to remove it from the library shelves.

But that's just the beginning of the story: soon the book's future becomes a burning issue, as parents, students and teachers rush to take sides. Readers too will find plenty to agree and disagree with in this provocative and witty portrait of a community in conflict.
