I'm not Becky, but off the top of my head, while I'm not sure about book banning, every so often the media will have a pop at some author who does very explicit or otherwise hard-hitting books for teens.

Like, maybe ten years ago it was Morris Gleitzman, an Aussie YA writer who'd done very frank teen books about (variously) heroin addiction, a girl who turns into a dog and gets laid a lot in that form, and the sex lives of teenage boys. And there were the usual phone-ins and panel show questions about Whether This Should Be Published... he's a good writer, though... I think I'm less aware of any recent imbroglios of that type because I see less telly news than I used to, but I've a feeling Wetlands didn't go down too well....
