Challenged Books — Attempted Censorship

3,828 books formally challenged and removed or restricted from schools and libraries. Most originate from PEN America and the American Library Association.

A challenge is a formal written request to remove a book from a school or library. A ban is what happens when the institution acts on that request: the book is removed from shelves, pulled from curricula, or restricted to certain readers. This catalogue records completed actions, not attempted ones — every book on this page was actually removed or restricted, not merely complained about.

The vast majority of entries below are school bans in the United States, drawn from PEN America's Index of School Book Bans and the American Library Association's annual Banned and Challenged Books data. This reflects reporting infrastructure: the US has two organisations that systematically track school removals. Most countries have no equivalent.

Note: our database uses scope (school vs. government) rather than a separate “challenged” status. The books below represent the school-scope bans in our catalogue — the closest equivalent to the ALA's definition of a challenged book. Read our full methodology →

Frequently asked questions

What is a challenged book?

A challenged book is one that has been the subject of a formal written complaint requesting its removal from a library, school, or public institution. A challenge becomes a ban when the institution acts on the complaint and removes or restricts the book. This catalogue records only completed removals — not rejected challenges.

What is the difference between challenged and banned?

"Challenged" means a formal complaint was filed. "Banned" means the book was actually removed or restricted. Every library ban began as a challenge, but many challenges are rejected. We document the bans, not the attempts.

Why does the US dominate this list?

Because PEN America and the American Library Association systematically publish this data. Most countries have no equivalent watchdog organisations tracking school removals. The US appearing prominently reflects transparency, not uniquely American censorship.

He had to learn how to play his mother's games in order to survive because she no longer considered him a son, but a slave; and no longer a boy, but an "it." Dave's bed was an old army

Park Solmay's South Korean poetry collection, addressing the Korean War's legacies and the political tensions of divided Korea, was among the works targeted by the South Korean National Security Act, which has been used throughout the post-war period to suppress writing deemed sympathetic to North Korea or insufficiently anti-communist. The Act's broad application to literary works made it one of the most significant censorship instruments in East Asia.

William Faulkner

William Faulkner's 1930 experimental novel narrated by fifteen different characters as the Bundren family transports the body of matriarch Addie Bundren across Mississippi for burial in her hometown. A showcase for stream-of-consciousness technique and black humour. Challenged in schools for its language and the often darkly comic treatment of death and grief. Faulkner won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1949.

She chose paint. By the time she was seventeen, Artemisia did more than grind pigment. She was one of Rome's most talented painters, even if no one knew her name.

Unlike most children's literature of the era, the bullying goes largely unchallenged and unpunished. Blume's unflinching realism made it a perennial target of school challenges.

Trevor Noah

Trevor Noah's 2016 memoir recounts his childhood in apartheid and post-apartheid South Africa as the son of a Black Xhosa mother and a white Swiss father — a union that was literally a criminal offence under apartheid law, making his birth itself the crime of the title. Warm, funny, and harrowing in equal measure, it traces his mother's extraordinary resilience and his own journey from poverty in Soweto to international comedy. Challenged in some US educational contexts for its treatment of religion.

WINNER OF THE THURBER PRIZE The compelling, inspiring, (often comic) coming-of-age story of Trevor Noah, set during the twilight of apartheid and the tumultuous days of freedom that followed. One of the comedy world's brightest new voices, Trevor Noah is a light-footed but sharp-minded observer of the absurdities of politics, race and identity, sharing jokes and insights drawn from the wealth of experience acquired in his relatively young life. As host of the US hit show The Daily Show with Trevor Noah, he provides viewers around the globe with their nightly dose of biting satire, but here Noah turns his focus inward, giving readers a deeply personal, heartfelt and humorous look at the world that shaped him.

Arthur Miller

Arthur Miller's Pulitzer Prize-winning tragedy follows Willy Loman, an ageing travelling salesman whose faith in the American Dream has brought him only failure and self-delusion. A defining portrait of American capitalism and its casualties. Miller himself was called before the House Un-American Activities Committee in 1956 and convicted of contempt of Congress (later overturned) for refusing to name associates. The play has been challenged in schools for its language and portrayal of suicide.

A publisher produced a school edition that removed profanity; Bradbury was furious when he discovered it years later and demanded the censored version be destroyed.

Boy meets boy. Boys become friends. Boys fall in love. Charlie and Nick are at the same school, but they've never met ... until one day when they're made to sit together. They quickly become friends, and soon Charlie is falling hard for Nick, even though he doesn't think he has a chance. But love works in surprising ways, and Nick is more interested in Charlie than either of them realise.

Alice Sebold

Alice Sebold's 1999 memoir recounts her rape as a college freshman at Syracuse University, the investigation that followed, and the trial that ended in her rapist's conviction. Frank, survivor-centered, and written without protective distance, it was challenged in US schools for its graphic descriptions of sexual violence. A 2021 revelation that the convicted man was wrongly identified cast a shadow over the book.

John Green's 2008 mystery novel follows Quentin's obsessive search for Margo Roth Spiegelman, the girl next door who disappeared after one night of adventure. Like all of Green's novels, it uses the quest structure to examine how we construct fantasies about other people. Challenged in US schools for language and for a brief scene involving alcohol, it has also been acclaimed for its honest treatment of teenage imagination and self-deception.

Its clear-eyed account of how revolution can consume its own children made it essential reading and a target: banned in Chicago public schools in 2013 (later reinstated) and in several countries in the Middle East for its depictions of torture, religious hypocrisy, and female resistance.

Those fateful exchanges, and the anguished soliloquies that precede and follow them, probe depths of human feeling rarely sounded in any art. The title role of Hamlet, perhaps the most demanding in all of Western drama, has provided generations of leading actors

As long as she doesn't hurt anyone else, no one really cares. The world is too busy crumbling to pieces to pay attention to a 17-year-old girl. Diseases are destroying the population, food is hard to find, birds don't fly anymore, and the clouds are the wrong color. The Reestablishment said their way was the o

Lowry, who wrote The Giver as a meditation on memory, conformity, and what societies sacrifice for safety, has become one of the emblematic figures of YA literature facing censorship.

Mark Twain

Mark Twain's 1884 novel — following the runaway slave Jim and young Huck down the Mississippi — is one of the most challenged books in American literary history, and one of its most important. Banned on publication by the Concord Public Library for its "coarse language" (meaning Jim's dialect), it has been challenged ever since: by segregationists for its sympathetic Black character, by civil rights advocates for its use of racial slurs, and by schools uncertain how to teach it. Twain called it "a book of mine where a sound heart and a deformed conscience come into conflict."

Written entirely from Christopher's perspective — without ever naming his condition, widely read as autism — it is simultaneously a mystery novel, a family drama, and an account of a mind that experiences the world very differently.

Aida Salazar's 2019 middle-grade verse novel, following a Mexican-American girl through her first period and her family's coming-of-age ceremony, was challenged in US school libraries for its frank depictions of puberty and menstruation and for its positive portrayal of a gender-nonconforming character. Salazar, a Chicana author, argued that the challenges were rooted in discomfort with both the biological candor and the racial cultural specificity of the book.

Ágota Kristóf's 1986 French-language Swiss novel, written by a Hungarian refugee, follows twin brothers surviving wartime occupation through a diary of methodical cruelties and ethical self-training. Its cold, flat prose strips moral language from the description of atrocity in a way that implicates the reader. Banned in several countries for its depictions of violence and sexual abuse among children; in Hungary, where Kristóf's language of origin was spoken, it received a complicated reception as the work of a refugee.

Ponyboy is a greaser, and he's always been proud of it, even willing to rumble against a gang of socs for the sake of his fellow greasers--until one terrible night when his friend Johnny kills a soc.

Natasha: I’m a girl who believes in science and facts. Not fate. Not destiny. Or dreams that will never come true. I’m definitely not the kind of girl who meets a cute boy on a crowded New York City street and falls in love with him. Not when my family is twelve hours away from being deported to Jamaica. Falling in love with him won’t be my story. Daniel: I’ve always been the good son, the good student, living up to my parents’ high expectations. Never the poet. Or the dreamer. But when I see

Tim O'Brien

Tim O'Brien's 1990 linked story collection, narrated by a character named "Tim O'Brien," interweaves realistic depictions of Vietnam War combat with meditations on the nature of truth and storytelling. Frequently challenged in US schools for its language, violence, and sexual content, it is simultaneously a war novel and a book about what war stories do. O'Brien's insistence that "story-truth" can be truer than "happening-truth" unsettled school boards as much as any specific passage.

Critics argued the book was too explicit about racial violence for young readers; defenders argued that sanitizing this history was itself a form of harm.

Holly Goldberg Sloan

Holly Goldberg Sloan and Meg Wolitzer's 2019 epistolary young adult novel, told entirely in emails and texts between two girls whose fathers are dating, was challenged in US school libraries for its positive portrayal of a same-sex relationship between adults and its normalization of a non-traditional family structure. The novel's warm and comedic tone did not protect it from challenge; the objection was to the existence of the gay fathers, not to their characterization.
