In January, 2024, 689 books were removed from classrooms in Orange County Florida because they might violate HB 1069 that bans materials with sexual conduct from schools. What I find interesting about this, and similar legislation across the country, is that it prescribes a practice but contains no fines or other punishment.

Coe Booth’s Bronxwood was a book on this list.

From the publisher:
Tyrell’s father is just out of jail, and Tyrell doesn’t know how to deal with that. It’s bad enough that his brother Troy is in foster care and that his mother is no help whatsoever. Now there’s another thing up in his face, just when he’s trying to settle down. Tyrell’s father has plans of his own, and doesn’t seem to care whether or not Tyrell wants to go along with them. Tyrell can see the crash that’s coming — with his dad, with the rest of his family, with the girls he’s seeing — but he’s not sure he can stop it. Or if he even wants to.
