One of the most challenged books in 2015 was “Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time.” I haven’t read it but I’ve seen it produced on the London stage. Planning to read it before I see the production again in the Cities in early December. “Fun Home” too was challenged. Haven’t read it but I have tickets to see the Broadway production in the Cities in December, and it’s on my reading list!
