Amy Reed
Amy Reed is an author of young adult novels in the United States.[1]
Her book Nowhere Girls has been challenged in some school districts. It is a fictionalized account of a group of girls facing sexual pressures from boys. It is a response to events drawn from media reports of a point scoring system a group of boys adopted for having penetrative sex and the ramifications of the competition.[2] It was removed from public school libraries in Martin County, Florida.[3] The group Moms for Liberty included the book on a list of those it sought to have removed from public schools in Florida.[4]
Kirkus Reviews described the book as "highly nuanced and self-reflective narrative that captures rape culture’s ubiquitous harm without swerving into didactic, one-size-fits-all solutions or relying on false notions of homogenous young womanhood."[5] Flagler County's public school system voted to keep the book on school bookshelves.[6] The book was also challenged in Escambia County, Florida.[7] The Escambia School Board voted to return it to shelves based on a recommendation from its Materials Review Committee in 2023 after it was challenged, along with three other books, by a Northview High School teacher who alleged LGBTQ indoctrination, race-baiting, and anti-whiteness among her reasons for objecting to the books.[8]
