Publisher Speaks out Against School Ban of Tweak

August 25 — With school nearly back in session, a New Jersey district has ruffled feathers by banning two books from its required reading list, Nic Sheff's Tweak: Growing Up on Methamphetamines and Haruki Murakami's Norwegian Wood.

"We are opposed to censorship in any form," said Justin Chanda, VP and publisher of Books for Young Readers. "Tweak: Growing Up on Methamphetamines has been applauded by critics, librarians and national anti-drug organizations for its honest and realistic depiction of the dangers of drug and alcohol abuse, chronicled by a young person who has experienced its horrors first-hand. It is a cautionary and inspirational tale for all teens and we believe that parents and their children should be given the choice about what they can and should read, rather than be deprived of the opportunity because of the beliefs of a few particularly vocal students and parents."
