It shows how a common interest in justice created the convergent path that enabled these young men to meet as Freedom Riders on a bus journey south. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNo other book on the Freedom Riders has used such a personal perspective. These two young men, empowered by their successes in the Nashville student movement, were among those who volunteered to continue the Freedom Rides after violence in Anniston, Alabama, left the original bus in flames with the riders injured and in retreat. Lewis and Zwerg joined the cause knowing their own fate could be equally harsh, if not worse. The journey they shared as freedom riders through the Deep South changed not only their own lives but our nation's history. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNational Geographic supports K-12 educators with ELA Common Core Resources.\u003cbr\u003eVisit www.natgeoed.org\/commoncore for more information.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ann Bausum\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0792241738\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780792241737\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e National Geographic Kids\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/27\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 80\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.38lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.04h x 8.90w x 0.51d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.8\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 3\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Middle Grade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e107660 \/ Freedom Riders: John Lewis and Jim Zwerg on the Front Lines of the Civil Rights Movement\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Capitol Choices: Noteworthy Books for Children and Teens - Recommended\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2006 pg. 60\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBulletin of Ctr for Child Bks\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2006 pg. 342 - Recommended\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHorn Book Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2006 pg. 339\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2006 pg. 140\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eVoice of Youth Advocates\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2006 pg. 264 - Recommended - Hard To Beat\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHornbook Guide to Children\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2006 pg. 376 - Superior,Well Above Average\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist Ed Choice Youth\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2007 pg. 12\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eALA Best Books Young Adults\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2007 pg. 1","brand":"Ann Bausum","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46767274918143,"sku":"9780792241737","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_de546248-4ebb-4f87-ae81-8b1a0e6c8e23.jpg?v=1744169351","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/freedom-riders-ann-bausum-9780792241737","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
