Book - 2026

This graphic novel offers a fictionalized account of a real 2013 incident in which Chicago Public Schools removed "Persepolis" from classrooms. Told from multiple student and teacher perspectives, the narrative follows a group of high schoolers who organize protests--including a walkout, sit-in, and media outreach--in response to the district-wide restriction of the book. Based on interviews and written by the librarian who helped uncover details of the decision, the story explores themes of censorship, student activism, and access to literature. Dungo's illustrations depict the daily experiences of the students involved and the community's efforts to challenge the ban.

520 1 |a "In this empowering graphic novel based on a true story, a group of high schoolers in Chicago work to overturn the system-wide ban of Marjane Satrapi's Persepolis. It starts as an update at one Chicago high school: copies of a certain book are no longer allowed in the classrooms or the library. But it's not just one high school -- it's all Chicago public schools. Not even the principals know why this is happening; they just know they must comply with the order. One thing is clear: The book, which tells a story of oppression, survival, and resistance against authoritarian power, is seen as a threat, dangerous enough to ban. One other thing is clear: Some of the students aren't going to let this go without resistance of their own. As the extent of the ban becomes known, the students rise up. They organize a school-wide walkout and library sit-in. They publicize the banning in every forum they can: social media, the press, classes, clubs, the school paper. And most of all, they get everyone they know to read the book: Persepolis, by Marjane Satrapi. Told from multiple perspectives, based on extensive interviews with the real-life students and teachers who were affected, and written by the librarian who exposed key information about the Chicago Public Schools censorship decision, Wake now in the fire is a fictionalized account of a true event that galvanized a community. With illustrations by Alex Award-winner AJ Dungo that perfectly capture the everyday joys, heartbreak, and stresses of high school, this graphic novel is an inspiring portrayal of student activism taking on one of the most urgent issues of our time, and a passionate reminder of why protecting the books we love matters"--  |c Provided by publisher.
