Crutcher, Chris - The Sledding Hill (Hardback)

The Sledding Hill by Chris Crutcher is a haunting young adult novel that blends grief, supernatural presence, and a fierce fight against censorship. Eddie Proffit loses both his father and best friend in quick succession, and in his silence, he begins seeing Billy’s ghost everywhere. When the high school community faces a push to ban Chin Music by Chris Crutcher, Eddie must navigate his silence, his friend’s voice beyond the grave, and the courage to speak out.

Crutcher weaves a layered narrative about loss, loyalty, voice, and intellectual freedom. Told through Billy’s ghostly narration, it challenges how communities manage grief—and how far they’ll go to suppress a book. This edition is essential for YA readers, book clubs, educators advocating against censorship, and anyone who believes in the power of words.
