At first things went smoothly for the Clinton 12, but then outside agitators interfered, pitting the townspeople against one another. Uneasiness turned into anger, and even the Clinton Twelve themselves wondered if the easier thing to do would be to go back to their old school. Jo Ann--clear-eyed, practical, tolerant, and popular among both black and white students---found herself called on as the spokesperson of the group. But what about just being a regular teen? This is the heartbreaking and relatable story of her four months thrust into the national spotlight and as a trailblazer in history. Based on original research and interviews and featuring backmatter with archival materials and notes from the authors on the co-writing process"-- $c Provided by publisher. 521 1 $a Age 10-12. 521 2 $a Grade level 4-6. 600 10 $a Boyce, Jo Ann Allen $v Juvenile literature. 600 11 $a Boyce, Jo Ann Allen. 650 0 $a African American teenage girls $z Clinton $z Clinton $v Juvenile literature. $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a African American students $z Clinton $z Clinton $x Biography $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a School integration $z Clinton $z Clinton $v Juvenile literature. 650 1 $a African American teenage girls. 650 1 $a African American students. 650 1 $a School integration. 651 0 $a Clinton (Tenn.) $x Race relations $v Juvenile literature. 651 1 $a Clinton (Tenn.) $x Race relations. 700 1 $a Levy, Debbie, $e author. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Boyce, Jo Ann Allen, author. $t This promise of change $d New York : Bloomsbury Children's Books, 2019 $z 9781681198538 $w (DLC) 2018047038 941 $a 38 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240716030613.0 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240710050904.0 952 $l ALPE516 $d 20240417015442.0 952 $l EYPC755 $d 20240117011240.0 952 $l PQAX094 $d 20231214032123.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20231012024208.0 952 $l CMPE792 $d 20230629014419.0 952 $l GMPD771 $d 20230210021805.0 952 $l SIPD314 $d 20230201020910.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909060033.0 952 $l YCPD572 $d 20220518022956.0 952 $l CYPF706 $d 20220402010034.0 952 $l ZYPE837 $d 20220401030751.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317023235.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722062825.0 952 $l YTPG232 $d 20210702012626.0 952 $l ORAX826 $d 20210602010123.0 952 $l D8PD522 $d 20210428011158.0 952 $l WHPE115 $d 20210224024452.0 952 $l EXPC755 $d 20201208012441.0 952 $l HUAX887 $d 20201008100914.0 952 $l GUPF501 $d 20201007081154.0 952 $l VZPB964 $d 20201002022548.0 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20200724012047.0 952 $l PMAX975 $d 20200716013521.0 952 $l S1PD771 $d 20200312044716.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20200110080001.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20191120014403.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20191109010555.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20190907010259.0 952 $l AAPF906 $d 20190806012850.0 952 $l TSPC862 $d 20190716014811.0 952 $l EWPB745 $d 20190521013249.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20190423014748.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20190418010543.0 952 $l SCPC074 $d 20190417011252.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20190402030453.0 952 $l KOPC446 $d 20190319012146.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D1A68876163711E9B7068CFC96128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
