They both like shooting marbles, they both want to be firemen, and they both love to swim. But there's one important way they're different: Joe is white and John Henry is black, and in the South in 1964, that means John Henry isn't allowed to do everything his best friend is. Then a law is passed that forbids segregation and opens the town pool to everyone. Joe and John Henry are so excited they race each other there...only to discover that it takes more than a new law to change people's hearts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Deborah Wiles\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 068987829X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780689878299\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Aladdin Paperbacks\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 32\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 9.74w x 0.18d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.2\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.5\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Lower Grade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e46086 \/ Freedom Summer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eIngram Children's Advance\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2005 pg. 34\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePW Notes and Reprints\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/03\/2005 pg. 58\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/03\/2005","brand":"Deborah Wiles","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44052417347839,"sku":"9780689878299","price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a362cb9e-1b23-4686-b3ac-f31ecbd634ea.jpg?v=1685018674","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/freedom-summer-deborah-wiles-9780689878299","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
