The note is from Janna Park, a girl who, like Rebecca, has a crush on Danny. She greets Amy Anne in the note by calling her “AA” (which Amy Anne likes) and asks her if she has The Egypt Game. Amy Anne drops off a note in Janna’s locker, telling her she will bring it the next day. When Janna stops by to pick up the book, she hesitates, asking if Amy Anne has any of the others banned titles. Amy Anne soon determines that Janna wants to read It’s Perfectly Normal. She does not have that one, and Janna scampers off when Rebecca nears. Amy Anne tells Rebecca which book Janna wanted, and Rebecca says she can bring it next day; they have a copy at her house. Amy Anne will have almost half the books represented then. She has another idea.

Amy Anne accumulates more books; she needs only Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret, Harriet the Spy, Matilda, and a Captain Underpants to represent the whole banned list. She clears a shelf in her locker and piles the books there, excited to house the books, “free to borrow for any student who wanted to read them” (66).
