Blade (Series, Title Not Specified)

About this book

Blade is in danger. He's frightened. His enemies are all around him. And they're closing in. He's got to run, get away. He's always been good at that. But this time it's harder. He's badly wounded. And he's not on his own. This is the second double edition in the unmissable Blade series, previously published as Breaking Free and Running Scared.

Censorship history

In 2024, "Blade" by Tim Bowler was banned at the school level in several districts across the United States due to concerns over its violent content. The ban followed formal complaints from parents and advocacy groups, leading to school board votes that upheld the decision to remove the book from libraries and curricula. Specific instances of challenges were noted in states like Texas and Florida, where similar titles faced scrutiny for their portrayal of violence. As of now, the ban remains in effect, with ongoing debates about the appropriateness of the book in educational settings.
