""When it comes to justice, there is no easy way to get it. You
can't sugarcoat it. You have to take a stand and say, 'This is not
right.'"--Claudette Colvin"
On March 2, 1955, an impassioned teenager, fed up with the daily
injustices of Jim Crow segregation, refused to give her seat to a
white woman on a segregated bus in Montgomery, Alabama. Instead of
being celebrated as Rosa Parks would be just nine months later,
fifteen-year-old Claudette Colvin found herself shunned by her
classmates and dismissed by community leaders. Undaunted, a year
later she dared to challenge segregation again as a key plaintiff
in Browder v. Gayle, the landmark case that struck down the
segregation laws of Montgomery and swept away the legal
underpinnings of the Jim Crow South. Based on extensive interviews
with Claudette Colvin and many others, Phillip Hoose presents the
first in-depth account of an important yet largely unknown civil
rights figure, skillfully weaving her dramatic story into the
fabric of the historic Montgomery bus boycott and court case that
would change the course of American history.

While not a substitute for professional medical advice, this book
is a source of information about common medical conditions that
teens often face. The medications that are commonly prescribed for
that condition are listed along with a description of how the
medication works in the body, the brand name and generic or
chemical ingredients for the medication, and the common side
effects and possible interactions with food and other drugs.
Additionally, strategies for coping with the stigma associated with
taking medications for chronic conditions are included. The goal of
this book is to inform the teen about the medications, enabling the
teen to be an active participant in his or her treatment with
medications. For example, a suggested list of questions to ask the
doctor or pharmacist is provided. Questions such as "What food,
drinks, or other medications should I avoid while taking this
medication?" "What do I do if I miss a dose?" "What are the
possible side effects, and which side effects should I report and
which should I ignore?" "How long before I see positive effects and
know that the medication is working?" By thinking about his or her
lifestyle, the teen will be alert to anything that could affect the
medication and symptoms that signal side effects or possible other
problems with the medication. Being well informed and playing an
active role in the decision-making process can help teens to feel
more in control of their medical conditions. Medication issues such
as dealing with several different doctors or specialists, taking
several different medications, why not to order medications from
another country or from the web, taking medications when pregnant
or nursing, donating blood while taking certain medications,
driving, and traveling and taking medications are addressed. This
useful reference concludes with an example medication diary,
encouraging teens to monitor their medications and any side
effects; a glossary; a drug list, arranged alphabetically and
listing the generic, brand name, type,
