All over the world, banning and challenging books is not a new trend, however, it has started coming back in full force. More books are being challenged by parents or governments that think because of a topic or a scene in a book, that the book should be banned from schools, and even public libraries. There are some states that have tried to push through laws written in a way that certain books would be banned, such as those which may have obscene or vulgar scenes, or even promote a certain lifestyle.
