Princess on the Brink was banned on the grounds of it being “immoral” and having “untraditional values.”
It’s true: The Princess Diaries series does encourage young girls to be strong, independent thinkers in today’s society. At one point, one female character in Princess on the Brink directly instructs another not to accept the traditional gender roles that have been thrust upon them for centuries by men.
If that’s what someone considers immoral and embracing untraditional values, ALL my books can be banned for all I care. Hey–I’m PROUD to be BANNED IN THE USA!

"Educationalists and librarians are expecting a much more muted reaction when the book is published in the UK later this year. 'I often think there will be some sort of a reaction,' says the chair of the UK's Youth Libraries Group, Ian Dodds, 'but it doesn't come.'"

I like it-- I think it opens the field up to people who are involved in education, but aren't actively educating others.
For instance, I do not consider myself an educator, but I do consider myself part of the education field. I would consider myself an "Educationalist".
But, then again, I like made-up words.
