BANNED BOOKS WEEK!
This week is BANNED BOOKS WEEK - When we celebrate your freedom to read whatever you want!
We believe that only you and your parents should be able to dictate what you can and cannot read. But some people try to make that decision for you and will challenge books to have them banned or removed from a library.
A CHALLENGE is an attempt to remove or restrict materials, based upon the objections of a person or group. A BANNING is the removal of those materials.
Dave Pilky, author of the Captain Underpants series has created a fun video about Banning Books:

YESSUR! I SAW THE FAULT IN OUR STARS LAST NIGHT!
AND IT WAS AWESOME!
To make a long story short, I got to go see an advanced screening of The Fault in Our Stars last night!
And let me tell you, IT WAS AWESOME!
I'm always super nervous about seeing a film adaptation of a book I LOVE. It's scary, you know? They often screw it up. But this is, by far, one of the best film adaptations I've ever seen. They totally did the story and characters justice!
And, to top it off....the director and JOHN GREEN were there!
John Green and the director came in to the theater to introduce the film and then finished it off with a fun Q&A session. The session was live streamed, and you can see it here.
And after the film we were invited outside to egg a car with John Green!
Here's my video footage:
