Dear Martin by Nic Stone
đźš« Banned for confronting police brutality and exposing racial profiling in real life.
When Justyce McAllister — honor student, debate star, and Ivy League hopeful — finds himself in handcuffs after helping a friend, everything changes. To make sense of it all, he starts writing letters to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., trying to live by the teachings of a man who believed in justice — even when the world shows none.
Why it was banned: Some say it’s “too political.” Others say it’s “too uncomfortable.” But really? It’s too honest for those who don’t want to face the truth about race and justice in America.
Recommended for: Teens who want more than sugar-coated fiction. For readers who want stories that matter, voices that fight back, and books that demand to be heard.
