Banned Book Literature Monday, 1:30-2:25 PM Teacher: Angela Gable Course Cost: $230 Course Duration: 15 weeks Ages: 9+ Course Description: This class focuses on literature that has been challenged or banned in America's public schools. We will read and discuss their impact on society. Our books will include: Roll of Thunder Hear My Cry by Mildred Taylor, Hair Love by Matthew A.

Reading is my passion and it brings me so much joy to help readers discover their own love of the written word. ***NOTE: please read the following, reflect on your financial situation, and choose a price for my classes that makes sense for your family.
