Memoirs of a Bookbat Paperback - 1996 - 1st Edition
by Kathryn Lasky
Harper Jessup is a bookish young girl who lives with her struggling parents. When they go on the road as "migrants for God", things seem to improve at first, but as time passes, Harper finds herself opposing her parents' mission of censorship: they work to remove "unacceptable" books from school programs around the country. "Convincing and disturbing".--Booklist.
Summary
Harper Jessup is an avid reader, and when her parents become “migrants for God” she must keep her books secret. As Harper grows older and realizes how valuable reading is to her, she comes to understand that her parents’ radical efforts in favor of educational censorship are related to a quest for control within their own family. And so Harper finds she must make the hardest choice of all. “Sure to be controversial, prepare for a stimulating conversation.”--The New Advocate
