Detractors accused the book of having anti-religious content. <\/p>\n<p>Challenged at the Conkwright Middle School in Winchester (KY) because the main character drinks wine and ingests poppy with her meals and the book presents an anti-Christian doctrine. <\/p>\n<p>Pulled from the St. John Neumann Middle School and Lourdes High School in OshKosh (WI) because concerns about what critics call its &#8220;anti-Christian message.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Challenged at the Shallowater Middle School in Lubbock (TX) because of the book&#8217;s &#8220;anti-religious message.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Pulled from the library shelves at Ortega Middle School in Alamosa (CO) for what critics regard as the book&#8217;s anti-religious views.
