Might ask ALA. They may be able to give you some that did not make the list.

I thought I had read something recently about Elizabeth Acevedo's Poet X being banned in some communities.  This was not it - but also tells of it.

I found this article about another of her books being censored by a community.

I looked at the 100-most banned list on the ALA site, and the only one that jumped out at me was The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian by Sherman Alexie. Granted, North American Native Americans aren't Hispanic, but they are related to the Aztec and Maya...

Bless Me, Ultima by Rudolfo Anaya, and The House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros are rated in Titlewave as adult - I don't know where you would draw the line for your middle schoolers!

Good morning hive-mind,

This is an interesting one. We just finished celebrating Banned Books Week with a few of our classes. When we finished up, we evaluated how we did. One of the issues was we really didn’t have a book with Hispanic characters that was challenged or banned.

What I’m looking for is middle school appropriate example of challenged books that mirror our Hispanic students. Oh, and also, not too out of date…

Sincerely,

Alan, Librarian serving Brooks Middle School
