{"product_id":"9780984488513","title":"The Flip-flop Year: A tale of teachers, tormentors, and Tomatoes","description":"There are two things Jane Johnson dislikes passionately--tomato stew and her new teacher, Miss Eldora Coffin, the meanest teacher in Lowry School. An unhappy fifth-grader sentenced to serve out her school year in a mixed class of fifth and sixth graders, Jane is befriended by Richard Whitcomb (Dick to his friends), the most popular boy in Lowry School. But Dick has a flip side and he unexpectedly turns on Jane, harassing her at every opportunity and making her life a nightmare. Jane thinks his bullying is her fault and endures it until he finally goes too far. Help comes from two unexpected sources--one human; the other vegetable--exposing Dick for the bully he is and revealing his dark family secret.\u003cp\u003eSet against the backdrop of wartime America in the waning days of World War II, The Flip-flop Year deals with such themes as bullying and integrity; rationing and the war effort, while chronicling the flip-flop relationships of ten year-old Jane Johnson with her teacher and Richard.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Grannygirl Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49868869107952,"sku":"9780984488513","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780984488513","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
