There seemed to be no one to stand up to the censors....so I began to speak out about my experiences. And once I did, I found that I wasn't as alone as I'd thought.\"-- from Judy Blume's introduction to Places I Never Meant to BeJudy Blume is not alone: Many of today's most distinguished authors of books for young people have found their work censored or challenged. Eleven of them have contributed original stories to this collection. Along with a story written by the late Norma Klein when she was a student at Barnard College, they comprise a stunning literary achievement as well as a battle cry against censorship.ContributorsDavid KlassNorma KleinJulius LesterChris LynchHarry MazerNorma Fox MazerWalter Dean MyersKatherine PatersonSusan Beth PfefferRachel VailJacqueline WoodsonPaul Zindel\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Miakarts Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49680523034864,"sku":"NEW0689842589","price":11.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/ethereallybeautiful.com\/products\/places-i-never-meant-to-be-original-stories-by-censored-wri","provider":"Ethereally Beautiful","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
