{"product_id":"francie-9780312373832","title":"Francie","description":"\u003cp\u003eFrancie lives with her mother and younger brother, Prez, in rural Alabama, where all three work and wait. Francie's father is trying to get settled in Chicago so he can move his family up North. Unfortunately, he's made promises he hasn't kept, and Francie painfully learns that her dreams of starting junior high school in an integrated urban classroom will go unfulfilled. Amid the day-to-day grind of working odd jobs for wealthy white folks on the other side of town, Francie becomes involved in helping a framed young black man to escape arrest--a brave gesture, but one that puts the entire black community in danger. In this vivid portrait of a girl in the pre-civil rights era South, Karen English completes Francie's world using lively vernacular and a wide array of flesh-and-blood characters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eFrancie \u003c\/i\u003eis a Coretta Scott King Honor book.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Square Fish\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/26\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780312373832\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 204\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.00w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader Quiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e2121 \/ Francie\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.2 \/ \u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Middle Grade \/ \u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 6\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Karen English","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36635856797852,"sku":"9780312373832","price":13.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_895b8f90-938a-4434-8605-58e49640d281.jpg?v=1603840715","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/francie-9780312373832","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
