Plot Summary: Beginning with 'Clan of the Cave Bear,' this series follows a Cro-Magnon girl, struggling to understand the ways of the Neanderthals who adopt her.
Word from the mouse: I think the novel was banned because of the whole evolution idea. I mean, think about 'The Monkey Trial', or Tennessee vs. John Scopes. A teacher put on trial for teaching evolution in class. I liked it, and I think I'll read the rest of the series... later. Full Review

Solonor Says Ban It Because: What? This ain't teaching our children proper history. It's a smutty story that pretends like we evolved or somethin'.
