They post their work online--poems, essays, videos of Chelsea performing her poetry, and Jasmine's response to the racial microaggressions she experiences--and soon they go viral. But with such positive support, the club is also targeted by trolls. When things escalate in real life, the principal shuts the club down. Not willing to be silenced, Jasmine and Chelsea will risk everything for their voices--and those of other young women--to be heard. \u003cbr\u003e These two dynamic, creative young women stand up and speak out in a novel that features their compelling art and poetry along with powerful personal journeys that will inspire readers and budding poets, feminists, and activists. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eAcclaim for \u003ci\u003ePiecing Me Together\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e2018 Newbery Honor Book\u003cbr\u003e2018 Coretta Scott King Author Award\u003cbr\u003e2017 \u003ci\u003eLos Angeles Times\u003c\/i\u003e Book Prize, Young Adult Finalist\u003cbr\u003eTimely and timeless. --Jacqueline Woodson, award-winning author of \u003ci\u003eBrown Girl Dreaming\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWatson, with rhythm and style, somehow gets at . . . the life-changing power of voice and opportunity. --Jason Reynolds, NYT-bestselling author of \u003ci\u003eLong Way Down\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBrilliant. --John Green, \u003ci\u003eNew York Times \u003c\/i\u003ebestselling author of \u003ci\u003eThe Fault in Our Stars\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e* \"Teeming with compassion and insight. --\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e, starred review \u003cbr\u003e* A timely, nuanced, and unforgettable story about the power of art, community, and friendship. --\u003ci\u003eKirkus \u003c\/i\u003e, starred review \u003cbr\u003e* A nuanced meditation on race, privilege, and intersectionality. --\u003ci\u003eSLJ\u003c\/i\u003e, starred review\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury YA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/12\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781547600083\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30h x 5.70w x 1.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/0001\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/03\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2018 pg. 86\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBulletin of Ctr for Child Bks\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eVoice of Youth Advocates\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2019 - Recommended - Better Than Most\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHornbook Guide to Children\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2019 - Recommended, Satisfactory\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader Quiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e504652 \/ Watch Us Rise\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 5.2 \/ \u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Upper Grade \/ \u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Ren\u0026#233;e Watson, Ellen Hagan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36659346866332,"sku":"9781547600083","price":16.14,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_f8a89b2a-8f51-4773-941f-0a5471c43a8c.jpg?v=1603894676","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/watch-us-rise-9781547600083","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
