He and the other Mexican American students were told they had to go to a new, separate school--one where they would not hold back the other students. But Roberto and the other students and their families believed the new school's real purpose was to segregate, to separate. They didn't think that was right, or just, or legal. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBased on true events, this picture book by Sibert award-winning author Larry Dane Brimner and Pura Belpré honor award-winning illustrator Maya Gonzalez follows Roberto and the other immigrant families on their journey.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Larry Dane Brimner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1684371953\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781684371952\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Calkins Creek Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/14\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 40\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.10h x 8.70w x 0.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 5.7\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.5\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Middle Grade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e518118 \/ Without Separation: Prejudice, Segregation, and the Case of Roberto Alvarez\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/15\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/15\/2021 pg. 47\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2021 pg. 106\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/18\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHorn Book Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2021 pg. 126\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHornbook Guide to Children\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2021 - Superior,Well Above Average","brand":"Larry Dane Brimner","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44053721219327,"sku":"9781684371952","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_23fab8e4-af4d-4d4d-ac7e-ee2864c1666a.jpg?v=1685025892","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/without-separation-larry-dane-brimner-9781684371952","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
