Nancy Garden's Annie on My Mind was originally published in 1982, and it was one of the first YA novels to portray gay characters in a positive light. One of my all-time favorite banned books and one I would take with me if I was stuck in an underground bunker as the zombie apocalypse occurred is Nancy Garden's 1982 YA novel, Annie on my Mind. It could replace The Giver in the curriculum.
