The goal of this article is to discuss the influence of the Brazilian Programa Nacional Biblioteca da Escola (PNBE) and its articulation with the official discourse, in the composition of the school literary canon of the Final Years of Primary Education (6th to 9th year), departing from the conception of canon by Reis (1992). The proposal is to ponder about the tension between diversity (Gomes) and canon, initially by approaching ethnic diversity (Federal Law 10.639/2003) and, later, the diversity of discourse genres (PCNs) in extending the canon to this educational cluster. We conclude that the school literary canon has become diverse, but it is still uneven. In this context, theatre is emphasized for being one of the genres with smaller participation in the program. This may result from the lack of this genre in the Brazilian publishing market, but it may also mean a lack of prestige of this genre, which stems from the few knowledge about it, attested by the lack of research on the subject.
