This book about Robert Cormier is one of a series of books on authors whose works are challenged by public schools and libraries.  His works are widely read by teens but criticized by those who think the themes and language is not appropriate for young adults.  It begins with information about the history of banning books and the thought, philosophy, process, the first amendment, and cases related to free speech.  A chapter is devoted to discussions of three books: I Am the Cheese, The Chocolate War, and After the First Death.  There is a good balance between both sides of the censorship debate.  Although this is a biography, most of the book is devoted to the banning and censorship of his work.  It is well researched and will be useful to those wishing to know more about Cormier or censorship.  Recommended for libraries used by teens and adults.
