The Year They Burned the Books by Nancy Garden
3.0
Nancy Garden saved my life.
I read [b:Annie On My Mind|34532059|Annie On My Min (Upstarts)|Nancy Garden|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1489246738l/34532059._SX50_.jpg|274128] as a young gay teen and it gave me hope. For the first time, I found my feelings, my dreams in print. Amid the dark days of Thatcherite Britain and Section 28, it was a lifeline.
This is not that book.
But it does show that however far we've come, our human rights must be guarded closely as some will always seek to erase them.
For a more uplifting read for modern teens, I'd recommend [b:Just Juliet|32069603|Just Juliet|Charlotte Reagan|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1474201702l/32069603._SX50_.jpg|50887447].
