In probing, anecdote-filled interviews with thirteen leading authors of books for young people, historian and critic Leonard S. Marcus goes behind the headlines to uncover the experience of having one's work challenged or banned in the United States. These thoughtful conversations include eloquent reflections on the nature of freedom of expression, the impact of censorship on individuals and society alike, young readers' rights, and the vibrant support network that has grown up to defend against attempts to limit those rights.
