I had no idea why a light in the attic was banned. this is the reason. it seems kind of stupid, especially the supernatural part. I dont understand why good book like these were banned because some people think that they portrayed something inappropriate.
Attempts have been made to ban the book from some libraries, parents claiming that the poem "How Not To Have To Dry The Dishes" encourages messiness and disobedience.[1] The poem "Little Abigail and the Beautiful Pony" led to more criticism for describing the death of a girl after her parents refuse to buy her a pony. This led the book to be banned by the Fruitland Park Elementary School in Lake County, Florida.[2] The decision, however, was later reversed by an advisory committee of parents and teachers.[3] Other complaints included the mention of supernatural themes, including demons, devils, and ghosts.[3]
