After reading all the books on my summer reading list for school, I started going through some of my dad's old books he keeps on his bookself in his office at home. One of which was a book called THE MYSTERY OF SECTION 17. Now for those who don't know, SECTION 17 is a government agency which "does not exist"! But it was proven, according to the book, back in 1985 that the agency is real when a 100 page document leaked to the press claiming that a flight suit had been constructed for a "special project". And there was evidence in this documentation that this project, and I quote, "...had been shut down due to an endangerment to human life." In particular, the life of 3 youths whose names were not given. The organization was also rumored to take on assignments that deal with such things as time travel to the paranormal. It was unclear the full extent of SECTION 17's missions, but the author, BOB CRAWFORD, was said to have been writing the book under an alias and was really a former member of the organization. He soon disappeared after the book was published in 1990.
Now for the REALLY weird part.
I was in all advanced classes at my former school, which caused me to skip 5th grade and go right into the 6th grade and on to FREDRICK JR. HIGH. The school was completely renovated and got a whole new staff along with new principal, RICARDO NELSON. After asking my english teacher, MS. BABCOCK, if I could actually read this book for extra credit, I was presented with a solid, NO! And discovered that the book had been BANNED from the school library by PRINCIPAL NELSON! My question is...what was in this book that he or our faculty doesn't want us to read?
