| Publisher Description: Between laughs, readers will be prompted to think -- about what constitutes truth, how the media massages it, and the importance of ethics, fairness, and getting the facts right. -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) Adam Canfield has to be the most overprogrammed middle-school student in America. So when super-organized Jennifer coaxes him to be coeditor of their school newspaper, The Slash, he wonders if he's made a big mistake. But when a third-grader's article leads to a big scoop, Adam and his fellow junior journalists rise to the challenge of receiving their principal's wrath to uncover some scandalous secrets. From a Pulitzer Prize-winning author and New York Times columnist comes a funny, inspiring debut that sneaks in some lessons on personal integrity -- and captures the rush that's connected to the breaking of a really great story. |
