Empowering Youth Through Literature with Ellen Hopkins

Ellen Hopkins is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of twenty-one novels. Her latest young adult novel, SYNC, was published in August of this year. 

Three of Ellen’s books were among the eleven most banned titles during the 2022–2023 school year. On the list of authors with banned books, Ellen shares the spotlight with notable figures like Harper Lee, Toni Morrison, Judy Blume, Margaret Atwood, Sarah J. Maas, and others. 

Ellen’s books serve as masterclasses in relationships and love—two aspects of humanity that some religious teachings seek to control and dominate.
