About this quiz
A challenge is an attempt to have a book removed from a library or a school. The American Library Association's Office for Intellectual Freedom has recorded them since 1990 and compiled this top 100 for the decade.
- The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian by Sherman Alexie was the most challenged book of the decade.
- Three entries in the top 20 are whole series; the series name is the answer.
- The association estimates that most challenges are never reported at all.
