The book is a horror/mystery novel first published in 2006. The "Banned in Joplin" edition (it was pulled off the shelves of Joplin R-8 schools during the Turner evil book frenzy of 2013) was published in 2016. At the time the book was removed, it had been in school libraries locally for seven years and had never been the subject of any complaints from parents or students.

Randy,
Was any specific reason cited for the banning?
Lagniappe: Books ignite at Fahrenheit 451 degrees; hence the Bradbury novel.
