Utah has banned three more books from its public schools, including Gregory Maguire’s Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West, the Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Maguire’s novel, published in 1995 by ReganBooks, is a reimagining of L. Frank Baum’s The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. The book was adapted into a Broadway musical that debuted in 2003; that production was in turn adapted into two movies, premiering in 2024 and 2025, respectively.

The other two books now banned in Utah schools are Jodi Picoult’s Nineteen Minutes and Stephen Chbosky’s The Perks of Being a Wallflower. Chbosky’s novel is one of the most frequently banned books in American libraries and schools, appearing on the American Library Association’s list of the top 10 most challenged books a total of 10 times since its publication in 1999.

There are now 22 books banned statewide in Utah’s schools. Six of the books on the list are young adult romantasy novels by Sarah J. Maas, including all five installments of her Court of Thorns and Roses series; while three books on the list are by Ellen Hopkins, another author whose novels have also been the frequent target of bans nationwide. Among the other books banned in Utah are Judy Blume’s Forever…, Margaret Atwood’s Oryx and Crake, and Jay Asher’s Thirteen Reasons Why.
