{"product_id":"miss-spitfire-reaching-helen-keller-9781416925422","title":"Miss Spitfire: Reaching Helen Keller","description":"Annie Sullivan was little more than a half-blind orphan with a fiery tongue when she arrived at Ivy Green in 1887. Desperate for work, she'd taken on a seemingly impossible job -- teaching a child who was deaf, blind, and as ferocious as any wild animal. But Helen Keller needed more than a teacher. She needed someone daring enough to work a miracle. And if anyone was a match for Helen, it was the girl they used to call Miss Spitfire. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e For Annie, reaching Helen's mind meant losing teeth as raging fists flew. It meant standing up when everyone else had given up. It meant shedding tears at the frustrations and at the triumphs. By telling this inspiring story from Annie Sullivan's point of view, Sarah Miller's debut novel brings an amazing figure to sharp new life. Annie's past, her brazen determination, and her connection to the girl who would call her Teacher have never been clearer.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Atheneum Books for Young Readers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/10\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781416925422\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.76lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.52h x 5.84w x 0.91d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Great Lakes Book Awards - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Jefferson Cup - Honor Book\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e William Allen White Childens Book Award - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e South Carolina Childrens, Junior and Young Adult Book Award - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Virginia Readers Choice Award - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Iowa Children's Choice (ICCA) Award - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Cybils - Finalist\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Review - Children\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2007 pg. 558\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2007 pg. 107\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKliatt\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2007 pg. 18\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eVoice of Youth Advocates\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2007 pg. 246 - Recommended - Better Than Most\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2007 pg. 70\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist Ed Choice Youth\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2008 pg. 12\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eALA Best Books Young Adults\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2008 pg. 1\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader Quiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e116359 \/ Miss Spitfire: Reaching Helen Keller\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 5.8 \/ \u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Middle Grade \/ \u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 8\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Sarah Miller","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43766747824309,"sku":"9781416925422","price":15.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_b37d8ed9-d20f-49ce-a2cc-2d52f44b37b7.jpg?v=1710818014","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/miss-spitfire-reaching-helen-keller-9781416925422","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
