- My favorite book in grade school was ALSO the first book that upset me, which was Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry. It's my earliest memory of encountering racism and injustice and it had a profound (and profoundly upsetting) impact.
- Screw your favorite book, which was the first that upset you? A Wrinkle in Time was mine. The possessed baby scared the everloving shit out of me. My babysitter had to call my mom to come home early because I was hysterical.
- Of course it's probably banned now
