There are lots of book challenges that I can at least understand, sort of. Not this one.
Dude. Really. They're the Anastasia books. You can't ban them. It's just, well... dumb.
I love these books. I've loved them since I was eight years old (if not younger). They're a step up from the Ramona books, age-wise--and they're so much fun.
Remember the one where Anastasia gets some gerbils from her friend, so that she can breed them for a school science project, but it turns out that they are actually both female and they're already both pregnant and then they escape? Or the one where Anastasia starts cooresponding with a guy that she meets through a personal ad, because she thinks she should find a "more mature man"? (She's twelve). Or the one where she has a crush on her (female) teacher?
Okay, so maybe I shouldn't be so surprised that someone is all up in arms about them. Oh, wait. Yes I should. Because this, specifically, is what she's upset about:
Hardee objected to scenes that make reference to stuffing bras, snapping bras and other talk that she deemed "vulgar."
