Descriere AJ and Junior: Collard Greens and Fried Okra - Betty R. Anderson

\nAJ and Junior can't get along. These seventh graders can't stop fighting over whose mother cooks the best collard greens and fried okra. When their principal stops suspending them and tries a new tactic, he hopes getting them to work together will solve their problems. Instead, it leads them on a journey that could destroy the school. \n \nIn this story, two boys from different cultures-AJ, a Black American, and Junior, a White American-become friends, and they set out to solve a school-wide problem even the adults couldn't come together to resolve. \n \n \n\n \nAbout the Author\n \nBetty R. Anderson is a retired teacher with a degree in elementary education and a master's in guidance and counseling.
