Like so many authors of books for young people, Adam Gidwitz has had talks cancelled, books challenged, and been dragged into a principal’s office like he was back in middle school himself. But these experiences have given him a chance to see how brave educators, especially school librarians, have done so much to protect children’s freedom to choose what to read.
