Everyone who has ever read a book has read a book by a banned author. Book banning has been around for hundreds of years. People should be allowed to read whatever they choose. “The ability to read, speak, think, and express ourselves freely is a right, not a privilege” (Celebrate). Standing up for what people believe in is something they’re taught to do at a bright, young age; making sure people are capable of reading the literature they want is one of the biggest controversies.

Books are said to be teachers, playing an important role in providing information. The lessons and information taught in these books can initiate many thoughts and influence the choices one makes depending on the information that the book feeds the mind.

The Reasons to Ban Books Schools are meant to be a safe environment full of books and learning opportunities. If this is impaired by books that should be banned, students may feel displaced or uncomfortable. Even a high schooler is prone to this, if action is not taken.

After reading The Book of Ivy, I would give the book 9 out of 10 stars for many reasons. For example, the book kept me on the edge of my seat each chapter with new problems, struggles, and a little romance.
