>"why" were they banned.

Those advocating a ban complain typically that the book in question
contains graphic violence, expresses disrespect for parents and
family, is sexually explicit, exalts evil, lacks literary merit, is
unsuitable for a particular age group, or includes offensive language.
Other complaints have been that the book is written by or deals with
sexual orientation or gay issues or brings up topics like slavery that
might make individuals uncomfortable.

Children's literature is top target of book bans
