{"product_id":"9780007555178","title":"City Kid","description":"From the author of international bestsellers A Circle of Children and Lovey comes an inspiring true story of a gifted teacher’s determination to understand the ‘rotten’ city kid everyone has given up on.Sitting quiet and withdrawn at a battered school desk, Luke had the looks of a shy angel – and a past that special needs teacher Mary MacCracken could barely believe.Already Luke had been picked up 24 times by the police. He’d set over a dozen major fires, and had a staggering record of thefts. No adult could reach him, no teacher could control him, and no policeman could cow him. All this – and Luke was only seven and a half years old.Trying to help Luke was Mary MacCracken’s job – and a seemingly impossible challenge. This is the remarkable story of how the impossible came true.","brand":"HarperCollins Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47077928075504,"sku":"9780007555178","price":10.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780007555178_p0.jpg?v=1763617173","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780007555178","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
