I read this one specifically because it was on the banned book list- and boy oh boy do I love reading banned books. 

I didn’t love this one- I found a lot of it to be problematic, however it is pretty old and so there may be a lot of it just not aging well. There were some good coming of age, finding inner strength/self bits.  I thought it was just okay..
