We’ll read and discuss young adult books that have been banned or challenged in parts of the U.S.—books that spark meaningful conversations around social justice, identity, and UU values. Come ready to read courageously, reflect deeply, and stand up for the stories that matter. Books are available locally at Lit on Fire, online at bookshop.org/shop/UUCP, for free at your local library, and at many more locations. This month’s selection, Looking for Alaska by John Green, follows Miles Halter (“Pudge”) to boarding school as he seeks a “Great Perhaps,” in the famous last words of French writer François Rabelais. This coming-of-age novel explores themes of meaning, grief, hope, and youth–adult relationships. It has frequently been in the top ten of the American Library Association’s list of most-challenged books, with profanity and a sexually explicit scene identified as objectionable. Join us this month or in the future: August 26: Kindred by Octavia Butler; September 23: Gender Queer by Maia Kobabe; October 28: Crank by Ellen Hopkins; November 25: The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian by Sherman Alexie.
