Adam Canfield: the Last Reporter (Adam Canfield of the Slash) Michael Winerip Reprint edition

Raising money to resurrect the banned school paper brings Adam in contact with some quirky characters in this sharp, funny novel starring the ace middle-grade reporter.

A "dirty" school election, suspicious state test scores ? Adam Canfield and his star reporters are chasing some red-hot leads. There?s only one glitch: the school board has shut down THE SLASH for exposing the town?s most powerful family, and now the staff has to find a way to publish it themselves. Enter the Ameche brothers: two goofy kid entrepreneurs with a knack for refurbishing junk ? and a talent for selling ads ? but a shaky command of journalistic ethics. What?s worse, Adam hasn?t a clue why his coeditor, Jennifer, is suddenly acting weird. . . . With kid-friendly humor and a touch of budding romance, this new adventure revisits a winning cast of characters ? and the excitement that comes from uncovering a really great story.
