Review # 1 was written on 2020-05-30 00:00:00 Tony Pollard I really like all of Andrew Clements' books. I wish something this exciting had happened at my school. Cara is so smart and it was nice to see that she was actually able to make such a big difference in her teachers life. It was interesting to see the perspective of her as well as her teacher.

Review # 2 was written on 2015-02-26 00:00:00 Clint Washington This very short story about a fifth-grade girl who creates her own newspaper, starting a chain of events that nearly gets her teacher fired, has a lot of heart. It’s slightly awkward in places, but it has a lot to say about First Amendment rights, the role of a newspaper in society, and balancing truth with mercy. Nobody in the story is truly a villain, though there are plenty of people (including the protagonists) who act out of selfish or vindictive motives, and I was particularly moved by how Clements addresses the issue of divorce and how it affects children. Not my favorite book by Clements, but enough to boost its 2.5 stars to a 3.
