Book Warriors Unite!
📚
Bess Stein wins the 6th grade election for class president and immediately gets her book vending machine installed alongside her new friend and vice president, June. But when some of the books get removed for being inappropriate, Bess can’t believe it and quickly joins in the fight to get them put back. The biggest voice against the books ends up being Bess’s new friend, June’s mom. The girls end up on opposite sides of the issue and Bess wonders if they’ll ever be on the same page.

We’ve had a couple of YA books about book banning, but having middle grade representation is equally as important, which is why I’m so happen ES wrote this title. I want to use this with students for a #bookclub and plan on adding it to our 25-26 Battle of the Books. Elly nails it every time, but as a librarian I’m partial to this one 😉
