For years, Adam Canfield has been the number-one star reporter for the Harris Elementary/Middle School paper, the Slash. Nowadays he’s also the most overprogrammed kid in America. Gladiator quiz bowl, jazz band, statewide test prep class - he’s always running somewhere, and nine times out of ten, running late. When does a guy get time to just shoot some baskets anymore?
Then his friend Jennifer talks him into being co-editor of the Slash. Between supervising know-it-all cub reporters and arguing with Principal Marris about which articles will “propel the Good Ship Harris forward,” Adam worries he might lose it altogether. But then a third grader delivers a scoop bigger than any of Adam’s career, and only Adam can dig deep enough to crack through a cover-up that will rock the very foundations of Harris itself.
From Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times columnist Michael Winerip, here is a first novel that delivers the rush of the newsroom, the adrenaline of a reporter on the trail of a hot story, and some keen insights into human nature - all with a lot of laughs.
Adam Canfield, ace reporter for Harris Elementary/Middle School's paper, The Slash, smells a cover-up. The school's control-freak principal warns him to write only stories that "propel the Good Ship Harris forward," but he and his newspaper buddies uncover a few suspicious "holes in the bow": a hush-hush bequest, a scared-into-silence janitor, and pricey new gold fixtures in the principal's bathroom. Written by a Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times columnist, this thriller featuring gutsy, smart, ethical cub reporters offers razor-sharp wit, edge-of-your-seat excitement, and admirable role models for kids today. (ages 8 to 12)
