Chee-lin is a story for all time: of captivity and struggle, friendship and respect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"HOUGHTON MIFFLIN HARCOURT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44425029648437,"sku":"ByrdShop_061871720X","price":36.84,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780618717200_d4751ed0-5f4e-4f49-834b-4e82eb13b2a9.jpg?v=1784240746","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/cheelin-a-giraffes-journey-9780618717200","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
