Banned by the Rancocas Valley Board of Education from the Mount Holly (NJ) High School library shelves after a local conservative group expressed concern that the book was too graphic and obscene. Removed from the Burlington (NJ) Public Library after a member of Glenn Beck’s 9/12 Project complained about Sonnie’s book. Named as on of the best adult books for high school students by School Library Journal in 2001, the book was called “pervasively vulgar, obscene and inappropriate.”
