Why were the Goosebumps books challenged to be banned?
Absolutely anyone may challenge a book. All it takes is going onto the American Library Association web site and filling out a form. Seeing that it is this easy, many people do for a variety of reasons. Some reasons may be more plausible than others. Goosebumps has actually been challenged many times. It was actually on the list of the ALA’s most challenged between the years of 1990-1999. Most of the challenges for Goosebumps included complaints of excessive violence in books intended for children under the age of twelve.
