She writes letters to her new teacher in a clear, insistent voice, asking questions with startling honesty. The new teacher is supportive, but not everyone feels the same. Her brother, James, is having a far less positive school experience, and the annoying white neighbor boy won't leave her alone. Shag, her border collie, is her refuge, but opportunity continues to clash with obstacle. Kizzy Ann knows she and Shag could compete in the dog trials, but will she be able to enter? From Jeri Watts comes an inspiring middle- grade novel about opening your mind to the troubles and scars we all must bear -- and facing life with hope and trust.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jeri Watts\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0763669768\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780763669768\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Candlewick Press (MA)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/06\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.60h x 5.10w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 5.2\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 6\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Middle Grade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e153430 \/ Kizzy Ann Stamps\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Sequoyah Book Awards - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Iowa Children's Choice (ICCA) Award - Nominee","brand":"Jeri Watts","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43981183484159,"sku":"9780763669768","price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_04927044-96c0-494b-97b9-a32a44912c18.jpg?v=1683254114","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/kizzy-ann-stamps-jeri-watts-9780763669768","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
