Acerca de este libro electrónico
A teenager rebels against her school’s book bans in this thoughtful, funny novel: “Engrossing . . . a timely read that will ultimately prove timeless.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
Clara Evans is horrified when she discovers her principal’s “prohibited media” hit list. The iconic books on the list have been pulled from the library and aren’t allowed anywhere on the school’s premises. Students caught with the contraband will be punished.
Many of these books have changed Clara’s life, so she’s not going to sit back and watch while her draconian principal abuses his power. She’s going to strike back.
So Clara starts an underground library in her locker, doing a shady trade in titles like Speak and The Chocolate War. But when one of the books she loves most is connected to a tragedy she never saw coming, Clara’s forced to face her role in it—and figure out whether she can make peace with her conflicting feelings or if fighting for this noble cause is too tough for her to bear . . .
“Suggested Reading is a beautiful reminder that there is nothing simple about loving a book.” —David Arnold, New York Times–bestselling author of Mosquitoland
“A diverse cast of characters, bold prose, and humor that breaks up even the darkest moments.” —Booklist

Acerca del autor
Dave Connis writes words you can sing and words you can read. He lives in Chattanooga, Tennessee, with his wife, Clara; two kids (a son and a daughter); and a dog that barks at nonexistent threats. When he’s not writing YA or MG, he interprets software-developer-speak as a technical writer at Skuid, a startup based out of Chattanooga. He is a member of the Jedi Council, facilities manager at the Sanctum Sanctorum, and a guy with a propensity to daydream whenever he attempts to be an adult. www.daveconnis.com
