In 2014, as part of a plan to save money, government officials decided that Flint would temporarily switch its water supply from Lake Huron to the Flint River. Within months, many residents broke out in rashes. Children stopped growing. Some people were hospitalized with mysterious illnesses; others died. Despite the murky, foul-smelling liquid pouring from the city's faucets, officials refused to listen. Through interviews with residents and intensive research into legal records and news accounts, Cooper and Aronson show not just how the crisis unfolded, but also the history of racism and segregation that led up to it, and how the people of Flint fought-- and are still fighting-- for clean water and healthy lives. 521 2 Grades 4-6 650 0 Lead poisoning |zMichigan |zFlint |vJuvenile literature. |=^A6474 650 0 Drinking water |xLead content |zMichigan |zFlint |vJuvenile literature. |=^A289926 650 0 Water quality management |zMichigan |zFlint |vJuvenile literature. |=^A5450 651 0 Flint (Mich.) |xHistory |y21st century |vJuvenile literature. |=^A637673 650 7 Drinking water |xLead content. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00898280 650 7 Lead poisoning. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00994664 650 7 Water quality management. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01171900 651 7 Michigan |zFlint. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01223011 |?UNAUTHORIZED 655 7 History. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 Juvenile works. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01411637 655 7 Young adult nonfiction. |2lcgft 700 1 Aronson, Marc |eauthor. |=^A249688 776 08 |iOnline version:Cooper, Candy J, |tPoisoned water |dNew York : Bloomsbury Children's Books, 2020. |z9781547602339 |w(DLC) 2019045875 938 Brodart |bBROD |n125441207 949 615.9 C7844P |wDEWEY |hJOYNER14 |ojcas 994 C0 |bERE 596 1 998 5568703
