McKissack.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhy has their grandmother bothered keeping a menu from a restaurant that closed years ago, a restaurant that never served very good food in the first place? Three cousins listen to Gee's own story, set in the early days of lunch counter sit-ins in Nashville, a time when a black child could sit up front in a city bus but still could not get a milk shake at a downtown restaurant. Through the eyes of ten-year-old Abby, young readers see what it was like to live through those days, and they'll come to understand that, like a menu, freedom is about having choices. Each book in this series tells the story behind a different \"scrap of time\"; together they form a patchwork quilt of one black family's past that stretches back for generations. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"A perfect introduction to an extraordinary time when regular people, even ten-year-old girls, make a difference.\" --\u003ci\u003eThe Horn Book\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"The book gives readers a kid's-eye view of important happenings and reminds them that history is something that is in the making.\" --\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Puffin Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/28\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780142406878\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 104\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.21lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.78h x 5.14w x 0.32d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/29\/2007 pg. 74\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader Quiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e89267 \/ Abby Takes a Stand\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.6 \/ \u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Middle Grade \/ \u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 1\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Patricia McKissack","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36634841579676,"sku":"9780142406878","price":6.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_e9d036e6-49f9-4e75-b71e-35570f15e3b8.jpg?v=1603837793","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/abby-takes-a-stand-1960-9780142406878","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
