{"product_id":"the-in-between-9781772012408","title":"The In-Between","description":"\u003cp\u003eLily has always felt in-between. She looks Vietnamese but thinks of herself as white - her parents adopted her from an orphanage in Vietnam. Her parents both have good jobs, but her best friend Brit is always super broke. When Karim - a guy she's liked for a long time - shows interest in her for the first time, Brit starts to hang out with some grade-twelves who wear T-shirts saying \"white pride.\" After Karim confronts Brit about her racism, a series of fear-induced misunderstandings lead to a lockdown, and Lily finds herself truly in-between, forced to make seemingly impossible choices about whose side she's on, and which friend she's going to believe. Set in a school facing the real-life challenges of immigration, income inequality, and fears of violence, \u003cem\u003eThe In-Between\u003c\/em\u003e is a realistic, complex, and believable exploration of the conflicts students navigate in contemporary schools. Like Youssef's international hit \u003cem\u003eJabber\u003c\/em\u003e, seen by hundreds of thousands of young people across North America and Europe and winner of Berlin's Ikarus Prize, \u003cem\u003eThe In-Between\u003c\/em\u003e brings humour, sensitivity, and a deftly authentic ear to the adult-sized questions all young people must begin to confront as they enter their later teens.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Talonbooks\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/22\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781772012408\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30h x 5.40w x 0.40d","brand":"Marcus Youssef","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42589524590773,"sku":"9781772012408","price":14.41,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_0da2de42-fb16-4808-b3af-8087f880138c.jpg?v=1673326473","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-in-between-9781772012408","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
