But when a presentation at their school made the three boys aware of the opportunities available to them in the medical and dental professions, they made a pact among themselves that they would become doctors. It took a lot of determination-and a lot of support from one another--but despite all the hardships along the way, the three succeeded. Retold with the help of an award-winning author, this younger adaptation of the adult hit novel The Pact is a hard-hitting, powerful and inspirational book that will speak to young readers everywhere. 600 10 $a Davis, Sampson. 600 10 $a Jenkins, George, $d 1973- 600 10 $a Hunt, Rameck. 650 0 $a African American physicians $z Newark $z Newark $x Biography. 650 0 $a Youth with social disabilities $z Newark $z Newark $x Biography. 650 0 $a African American youth $z Newark $z Newark $x Biography. 650 0 $a Friendship. 650 0 $a Success. 700 1 $a Jenkins, George, $d 1973- 700 1 $a Hunt, Rameck. 941 $a 23 952 $l RKPA371 $d 20240601011403.0 952 $l SZPC124 $d 20210828025343.0 952 $l 54SX745 $d 20190530010503.0 952 $l RSPC135 $d 20180623050606.0 952 $l LZSX115 $d 20180623032128.0 952 $l 58SX745 $d 20180623013015.0 952 $l IBAX173 $d 20180307020628.0 952 $l VSSX062 $d 20170603013831.0 952 $l LASX353 $d 20161129021045.0 952 $l SWPB124 $d 20150530015943.0 952 $l CIPB482 $d 20150219012445.0 952 $l T2PB062 $d 20141124091814.0 $m t2pb062 952 $l YVPA232 $d 20130903112117.0 952 $l VBPC034 $d 20120825012634.0 952 $l TNPD062 $d 20110319012906.0 952 $l 30SX663 $d 20100527012541.0 952 $l SJPB094 $d 20100201160108.0 952 $l TVPD862 $d 20100120224439.0 952 $l YDPC572 $d 20100120223948.0 952 $l ZYPE837 $d 20100108065156.0 952 $l EEPC605 $d 20091107095607.0 952 $l TOPB062 $d 20090806113132.0 952 $l BGPE251 $d 20100120073657.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=3BD480AC2B0D11DE82774608A8D7520A 994 $a 02 $b JIPInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
