About this book

After repairing a school bus, the group of survivors splits in two, with one group heading to the airport in hopes of reuniting with their parents and saving their dying friend and the other trying to rebuild the community they lost.

Censorship history

In 2024, "Monument 14: Sky On Fire" by Emmy Laybourne was banned at the school level in several districts across the United States due to concerns over violence and offensive language. Specific complaints were raised during school board meetings, leading to votes that upheld the ban in districts such as those in Texas and Florida. The book's removal has sparked ongoing debates about censorship in educational settings, with some parents and advocacy groups challenging the decision, but as of now, the ban remains in effect.
