  Add And Tango Makes Three to your for later shelf

  I love this book and it has made the banned list for many years. It is a story of love, acceptance and how there is more than one way to be a family. ArapahoeAnnMarie

  Rowell, Rainbow

  I would pretty much die defending this book. I gave this to two of my nieces who had challenging upbringings. The way it resonated with them only strengthened my resolve for how important this book is. ArapahoeTina

  Add Fahrenheit 451 to your for later shelf

  A banned book that is about banning (and burning) books. Thank you for this one, Mr. Bradbury. ArapahoeJillA

• The Master and Margarita

  Bulgakov, Mikhail, 1891-1940

  Add The Master and Margarita to your for later shelf

  This book is as important for Russian pop-culture as "Ghostbusters," "Forrest Gump," "Monty Python," "The Princess Bride" and "The Wizard of Oz" combined. Everyone is still using the quotes from it! ArapahoeGalina

• Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret

  Blume, Judy

  Add Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret to your for later shelf

  Judy Blume is one of the authors who made me a reader. This one especially resonated with me as a young girl. It very realistically portrays how someone might deal with friends, faith and changing bodies. ArapahoeMaryK

• The Perks of Being a Wallflower

  Chbosky, Stephen

  Add The Perks of Being a Wallflower to your for later shelf

  This story left me breathless! While it deals with some serious stuff like depression, drug use, suicide and sexual assault, it presents them very beautifully. The movie is also worth the watch! ArapahoeTiegan

• The Golden Compass

  Pullman, Philip, 1946-

  Add The Golden Compass to your for later shelf

  Lyra's journey is filled with magic, suspense and intensity. I highly recommend this series to anyone who loves fantasy! ArapahoeSummer

• To Kill a Mockingbird

  Lee, Harper

  Add To Kill a Mockingbird to your for later shelf

  When people object to the language and subject matter in this book they almost always take it out of context, which means they are completely missing the point. Scout and Jem see their world quite clearly from a child's view. ArapahoeAnna

• Captain Underpants and the Attack of the Talking Toilets

  Pilkey, Dav, 1966-

  Add Captain Underpants and the Attack of the Talking Toilets to your for later shelf

  A family favorite. ALL of them! ArapahoeKarenM
