Dawn banned from the Scholastic Book Fair?
Breaking Dawn, the last book of the Twilight series, was officially banned. The novel suspension would be in primary school, secondary school, and book fairs, high school, Scholastic has banned trade however, shows the book, including secondary schools, due to their mature, but still sells The Host. It is ironic because it is National esspecially-A-Censoreship months, with bookshops selling banned books. Has anyone heard of? What do you think of this? If you're wondering, Dawn contained language, sex, violence, and went into minute detail about how the baby was "off" vampire bite open the wombs of mothers. I agree. What a horrible book, horrible.
While I believe that the ban is stupid book, Dawn is an exception. This book is effed place.
