Racine's own Kevin Henkes writes a banned book? His young adult novel, "Olive's Ocean," made it to number three on the 2007 list; "Sexually explicit, offensive language." I went back and re-read it, and even knowing what I was looking for -- I didn't find it. A twelve-year-old girl and her family spend two weeks at the beach. The girl is pondering becoming a writer, wondering about a girl named Olive who was hit by a car and died, and dealing with her first crush. Hmmm. You read it; what do you think?
