In the 50 years since it came out, “The Chocolate War” has become one of the country’s most challenged books. But the tensest battle over the novel may have been fought in Panama City, Fla., in the mid-1980s. That’s when an attempt to ban “The Chocolate War” divided the town, leading to arson and death threats against middle-school teachers. The Mowat teachers endured all sorts of harassment because of their stand. It featured the words “YOU ALL SHALL DIE” in letters cut out from magazines, and mentioned several teachers by name — including Alyne Farrell.

I was in the sixth grade when a book changed me. I was already a voracious reader, and I loved mysteries and thrillers. I hadn’t encountered an unreliable narrator and the lingering impact of an unsettling ending in the books I’d read before this one. They could change the way you looked at the world and how you viewed yourself in that expanded, powerful universe. thrillers that tackle social issues, each of which provides entry points for larger discussions.
