The Story
When a book gets banned, what comes next?
On library day, Edwin makes a beeline for his favorite section, which is usually packed with exciting books about spaceships and distant planets. But when he gets there, he finds out that all books about outer space have been banned--it turns out some people want to keep kids from daydreaming about rocketing off into the stars. Soon, the town starts banning all kinds of other things, from singing birds to the color green. As the town grows more and more miserable with each new ban, it's up to Edwin and his friends to find a solution.
