At first things went smoothly for the Clinton 12, but then outside agitators interfered, pitting the townspeople against one another. Uneasiness turned into anger, and even the Clinton Twelve themselves wondered if the easier thing to do would be to go back to their old school. Jo Ann--clear-eyed, practical, tolerant, and popular among both black and white students--found herself called on as the spokesperson of the group. But what about just being a regular teen? This is the heartbreaking and relatable story of her four months thrust into the national spotlight and as a trailblazer in history. Based on original research and interviews and featuring backmatter with archival materials and notes from the authors on the co-writing process"--$$cProvided by publisher. 000868581 5211_ $$aAge 10-12. 000868581 5212_ $$aGrade level 4-6. 000868581 586__ $$aBoston Globe/Horn Book, 2019 000868581 60010 $$aBoyce, Jo Ann Allen$$vJuvenile literature. 000868581 650_0 $$aAfrican American teenage girls$$zTennessee$$zClinton$$vBiography$$vJuvenile literature. 000868581 650_0 $$aAfrican American students$$zTennessee$$zClinton$$vBiography$$vJuvenile literature. 000868581 650_0 $$aSchool integration$$zTennessee$$zClinton$$vJuvenile literature. 000868581 650_1 $$aAfrican American teenage girls$$zTennessee$$zClinton$$vBiography. 000868581 650_1 $$aAfrican American students$$zTennessee$$zClinton$$vBiography. 000868581 650_1 $$aAfrican American teenage girls$$vBiography. 000868581 650_1 $$aAfrican American students$$vBiography. 000868581 650_1 $$aSchool integration. 000868581 651_0 $$aClinton (Tenn.)$$xRace relations$$vJuvenile literature. 000868581 655_7 $$aAutobiographies.$$2lcgft 000868581 655_7 $$aNarrative poetry.$$2lcgft 000868581 655_7 $$aDidactic poetry.$$2lcgft 000868581 7001_ $$aLevy, Debbie,$$eauthor. 000868581 77608 $$iOnline version:$$aBoyce, Jo Ann Allen, author.$$tThis promise of change$$dNew York : Bloomsbury Children's Books, 2019$$z9781681198538$$w(DLC) 2018047038 000868581 85200 $$bcmc$$hF444.C68$$iB69$$i2019 000868581 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:868581$$pGLOBAL_SET 000868581 980__ $$aBIB 000868581 980__ $$aBOOK
