A Hi-Lo Book for Teens
In 1960, Josie is inspired by the nonviolent protests of the civil rights movement. She just isn’t sure she has the confidence to stand up to the system like that. Then she hears about the training being offered by a local group. Maybe staying on the sidelines isn’t what she wants anymore.
This historical, teen, hi-lo fiction book is one of several within The Story of America Boxed Set 2: 1866 – 2022, a great resource for schools and libraries.
Publisher: Saddleback Educational Publishing, 2023.
What is a hi-lo book?
— School Library Journal
“Hi-lo (high-interest, low readability) books are designed to engage struggling readers by exploring complex, age-appropriate themes at a lower reading level. They typically feature simple sentences, controlled vocabulary, lower page counts, and short chapters.”
