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.
A Great Book For All Ages!
I really enjoyed reading this book. Adam Canfield is a middle-schooler who used to be a reporter for his school's newspaper, The Slash (named after the slash mark in Harris Elementary/Middle School), but now he has become a co-editor. He finds that being a co-editor is a big responsibility, because he does not only have to find the stories, he must decide on which stories to put in. A third grader named Phoebe wrote a great story about the janitor that everyone thought would turn out terrible.
I stayed up until 1:30 AM withought knowing the time just to finish the book!

Later, the two co-editors, Adam and Jennifer, with Phoebe, write an article that gets their evil principal, Mrs. Marris, fired for using money donated to the school to make her bathroom have gold plating and plumbing.
