Callie befriends two cute twin brothers: Justin, who is openly gay, and Jesse, who is still struggling with his sexual identity. But she doesn’t know much about carpentry, and there’s no way she can afford Broadway production on a middle-school budget.
Drama held the #3 spot on ALA’s top ten challenged books list in 2017, and it also had the dubious honor of appearing on the 2016 list for offensive political viewpoint and the 2014 list for being sexually explicit.Ĭallie, the protagonist of Drama, loves the theater, but she’s no singer, so she’s the set designer for her school’s production of Moon Over Mississippi. But Raina Telgemeier’s acclaimed and immensely popular Drama has been on the hit lists of a number of would-be censors, who claim the book is offensive because it includes LGBTQ characters. One would think there wouldn’t be much controversy around a bestselling graphic novel about a middle school play - a graphic novel that includes no profanity, drug or alcohol use, or sexual content.
