{"product_id":"book-uncle-and-me","title":"Book Uncle and Me","description":"Winner of the International Literacy Association Social Justice Literature Award\nAn award-winning middle-grade novel about the power of grassroots activism and how kids can make a difference.\nEvery day, nine-year-old Yasmin borrows a book from Book Uncle, a retired teacher who has set up a free lending library on the street corner. But when the mayor tries to shut down the rickety bookstand, Yasmin has to take her nose out of her book and do something.\nWhat can she do? The local elections are coming up, but she’s just a kid. She can’t even vote!\nStill, Yasmin has friends ― her best friend, Reeni, and Anil, who even has a blue belt in karate. And she has family and neighbors. What’s more, she has an idea that came right out of the last book she borrowed from Book Uncle.\nSo Yasmin and her friends get to work. Ideas grow like cracks in the sidewalk, and soon the whole effort is breezing along nicely... Or is it spinning right out of control?\nAn energetic, funny and quirky story about community activism, friendship, and the love of books.\nCorrelates to the Common Core State Standards in English Language Arts:\nCCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.3.2\nRecount stories, including fables, folktales, and myths from diverse cultures; determine the central message, lesson, or moral and explain how it is conveyed through key details in the text.\nCCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.3.6\nDistinguish their own point of view from that of the narrator or those of the characters.\nCCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.4.2\nDetermine a theme of a story, drama, or poem from details in the text; summarize the text.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1554988098\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: 4EKGY3008NK0_ns\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Krishnaswami, Uma\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
