The Librarian of Burned Books by Brianna Labuskes
5.0

I am a teacher in Florida, so the current state of book challenges and fear generated to intimidate educators is in the forefront of my mind. I could not resist delving into this novel as a means to think about the place of books in the world and why they are important. I learned a lot about what happened in Germany, America, and France at this time. The story really took off about halfway through, and the last 20 pages or so bringing the fire! If you are a book lover concerned with the state of censorship today, this is recommended reading.
