      Cuando Amy se dirige a la biblioteca de la escuela para recoger su libro favorito, Pippi Calzaslargas, descubre que no está en su estantería. En un principio piensa que otra persona se lo ha llevado, pero la bibliotecaria le explica que no es así: ella misma se ha visto obligada a retirarlo porque algunos padres creen que el libro no es apropiado para una escuela primaria. Con el paso de los días, la lista de libros censurados por el consejo escolar se irá engrosando. Amy y sus amigos reaccionarán y crearán su propia biblioteca, la Biblioteca de Libros Prohibidos la Taquilla, y vivirán una entretenida aventura en la que los grandes protagonistas son los libros. Una novela sobre chicas y chicos valientes, sobre la censura y sobre la libertad de leer.
