this sounds like something i would have done as a kid, and now i am in school to be a librarian too

10/10 real good book

Allie Herrington

Librarian: No. absolutely no. Under no circumstances will I recommend this book for purchase, or promote it through readers advisory. If you want something with this theme go read Ban This Book, by Alan Gratz. It's a better book anyway.
Reader: Look I'm a librarian. As far as I'm concerned people who attempt to ban books or control the reading of others are among the worst sort of monsters. And this book, those monsters win. Oh, it tries to be all, rah, rah kid power, but that's NOT WHAT HAPPENS! 
Spoiler Alert! In the end, the kids monstrous parents win, the librarian stays fired, the library books stay removed, the little free library in her locker is destroyed, and the girl gets grounded. About the only semi-good part of the ending is when she gets to tell her dad that she's going to be a librarian (aka basically saying a big old take that to his evil censoring self.) 
'So yeah. I despised this book.
