                                                                   Chanda's secrets


On many websites and searches done, it says nothing about the novel being banned, although if it were to get banned here are some possibilities of it being banned. If it was government were to ban Chanda's secrets it would be for reasons like too many young people having AIDS/HIV, coarse launguage used through out the book, the abuse of young children and sexual content. 


When Chanda's secrets was banned, it does not say! But for a fact, Chanda's secrets did win and get nominated by many book publishers. For example; in 2005 it got an award by Michale L. Printz and it got nominated by CLA young adult book nominee. In 2004 it got awarded by forceword magazine and in 2007 it was nominated to several state book award list. 


 there was no mention of the Chanda's secrets being "banned" in different countries or places around the world, but the book was sold in many different countries. For example; United States, Great Britain, France, Germany, Italy, The neverlands, Slovenia, Brazil, India, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. 

Chanda's secrets might not be the worlds most popular book to read in 2016! But it is for sure heart breaking and talks a lot about AIDS/HIV.
