This week starts Banned Books Month. For the month of June, I will be discussing a different banned book. Because I have chosen to do this in June, I decided that since June is also Pride Month, I will review "Melissa" by Alex Gino. As I stated in the episode, this will be the only book to coincide with Pride Month. (June was only chosen because it's usually the quietest month of hurricane season). I summarize the book's plot and explain why the book is banned.
