Kids’ Right to Read was joined by the American Library Association in defense of Stephen King’s Different Seasons which has been challenged in a school library in Rocklin, CA. A parent objected to a rape scene in the novella "Apt Pupil" and wants the book removed. In the letter, NCAC and partner organizations pointed out the constitutional implications of removing books from a library and defended the merits of King’s work as well as the horror genre generally.
