{"product_id":"an-unlikely-friendship-jane-buttery-9781420883756","title":"An Unlikely Friendship: Amherstburg 1846","description":"Can you guess what happens in a small town in 1846 when a Black schoolboy Josh befriends a poor Irish immigrant, Seamus? It is not surprising when the locals don't approve.It was in fact a time of growing prejudice and led to the Separate Schools Act of 1850. Josh, who is a dedicated student, suffers bullying by the others who don't want him at their inter-racial school. The school boys even gang up on Seamus when he sticks up for Josh. But throughout the experiences the two boys become strong friends; they discover a common love of music and, towards the end of the story, they have quite a journey together. The author seeks to bring you a slice of life in Upper Canada, relating it to real facts about the town as it becomes an important small port and a refuge for those fleeing from slavery or from starvation in Ireland.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jane Buttery\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1420883755\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781420883756\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Authorhouse\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 156\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.52lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.36d","brand":"Jane Buttery","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48458159980799,"sku":"9781420883756","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8ff6a815-e548-4330-8d63-66d56239885e.jpg?v=1777402718","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/an-unlikely-friendship-jane-buttery-9781420883756","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
