{"product_id":"clarences-big-secret-33408","title":"Clarence's Big Secret","description":"\u003cp\u003eA powerful story about the importance of reading, and how it is never too late to learn something new Clarence Brazier has a secret. One big enough to keep for almost one hundred years. When Clarence was a boy, he was smart and hardworking and always lots of help on the family farm. He was excited when he turned six and had his first day of school. But, being tall for his age, he was mistaken for a third grader and asked to spell his name in front of the whole one-room school. Of course, Clarence didn't know how to read or write yet and, embarrassed by the other children's teasing, he ran out of the school, all the way home. He didn't go back, and didn't learn to read. That was Clarence's big secret. He learned to read at the age of 100 and become a literacy advocate for 5 years.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nova Scotia School Book Bureau","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43664810278972,"sku":null,"price":15.96,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/3677\/6508\/files\/9781771473316.jpg?v=1762981406","url":"https:\/\/nssbb.ednet.ns.ca\/products\/clarences-big-secret-33408","provider":"Nova Scotia School Book Bureau","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
