John Oliver's parody book about Pence's family pet among most 'challenged' works
NEW YORK -- Not everyone was amused by the John Oliver send-up of a picture book by the wife and daughter of Vice President Mike Pence.
Oliver's book, credited to staff writer Jill Twiss, was a response to the Pences'"A Day in the Life of Marlon Bundo" and to the family's conservative social viewpoint. The Pences themselves did not publicly object, and daughter Charlotte Pence has even said she purchased a copy of the"Last Week Tonight" book, noting that proceeds were going to charities for AIDS and suicide prevention for LGBTQ youth.
The report also includes Raina Telgemeier's"Drama," Jay Asher's"Thirteen Reasons Why," Sherman Alexie's prize-winning""The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian," Mariko and Jillian Tamaki's"This One Summer" and Judy Schachner's"Skippyjon Jones" series. Books included on the list in previous years range from"To Kill a Mockingbird" to the"Harry Potter" series.
