Summary of Attack of the Black Rectangles: Mac is in the sixth grade and is a kid who knows his own mind. His teacher is known around town to be a strong, conservative influencer. Ms. Sett is a conundrum when she doesn't tolerate bullying and is an advocate of children but then censors books in her classroom including the book Mac is reading, The Devil's Arithmetic, in a literature circle. When Mac and his classmates find black marker has been used in all the books to mark out words thought to be inappropriate for sixth graders, Ms. Sett has gone too far (not even canceling Halloween got the kids as riled up as the "black rectangles"). Mac is also dealing with his father's mental illness. A striking book on censorship; a must-have in all middle grade classroom and school libraries.
