This is my last communication as Editor and as Executive Director. My thanks to the MCSS members and the Board of Directors for making the past six years a rich and rewarding experience. My goal has always been to help MCSS assist social studies teachers for the benefit of the children and young people of Minnesota. Celebrate Your Freedom to Read for September 22-29, 2001. The Harry Potter series was the most challenged book of the year 2000, so it should come as no surprise that such classics for adolescents as Lois Lowry's The Giver and Rorbert Cormier's The Chocolate War were among the top 10 most frequently challenged books in the same year.
