**note: by the term, "banned books", it means that these books are frequently challenged, usually by conservative groups, and as a result, these books have been banned in some schools and libraries across the US. so these do NOT mean they are banned everywhere.
BUT the trump administration is aiming to ban A LOT books across the US, and most of the books on here are on their list.**
