{"product_id":"parents-wanted-9781571316332","title":"Parents Wanted","description":"When 12-year-old Andy meets Laurie and Jeff at an adoption party, he has already been in eight foster homes. Andy s alcoholic mother has given him up to the state as too hard to handle, and his father is in jail. Andy longs for a loving home and parents he can trust, but his attention deficit disorder, combined with the legacy of his dysfunctional parents, causes him to constantly challenge authority. He steals, destroys property, gets in trouble at school, tries to make a gunpowder bomb, and accuses Jeff, his soon-to-be father, of touching him inappropriately. To make matters worse, Andy s real father shows up asking for money. But Andy s new parents refuse to give up on him, and Andy must fight to save his soon-to-be-father s reputation and his own chance at having a real family.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Milkweed Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/28\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781571316332\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.63lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.30w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Review - Children\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/15\/2001 pg. 1213\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/03\/2001 pg. 88\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2001 pg. 158\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eVoice of Youth Advocates\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2001 pg. 359\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/15\/2001 pg. 723\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHornbook Guide to Children\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2001 pg. 85 - Below Average, With Minor Flaw\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHornbook Guide to Children\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2002 pg. 85 - Below Average, With Minor Flaw\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader Quiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e60441 \/ Parents Wanted\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.3 \/ \u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Middle Grade \/ \u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 8\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"George Harrar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39397988761781,"sku":"9781571316332","price":5.91,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_f120e2cf-fad0-4445-8b2f-efd389922b99.jpg?v=1615298910","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/parents-wanted-9781571316332","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
