The Most Notorious Challenged and Banned Books in Arizona

A large number of young Arizona residents find joy and knowledge in the wide variety of worn book covers across different genres. Reading a good book is truly one of life’s greatest joys.

Regrettably, politicians and school officials have been prohibiting numerous of these novels, leading curious readers to search for these titles on the internet.

To celebrate World Book Day on April 23, yengols.com took a break from covering Arizona sports betting to investigate the most popular banned or challenged books in the state. Using the American Library Association’s list of the top 13 banned and challenged books, we utilized Google Trends to analyze search interest in these books in Arizona. The search spanned from March 8 to April 8, 2024.
