Summary

The star reporter is caught up in a big scoop but this time it's about him in a savvy, engaging story that takes on school bullies and other tyrants. For overprogrammed middle-grader Adam Canfield, waking up to a snow day is a dream come true a chance to sleep late, put off planning the next issue of THE SLASH, and make some quick cash with his shovel. But the dream turns into a nightmare when some high-school kids mug Adam for his shoveling money. Then not only does the media blast the embarrassing story, but Adam's own co-editors plan a contest outing bullies at their school. In a second look behind the scenes at a middleschool newspaper, Michael Winerip deftly blends kid-friendly humor with some provocative issues, including the subtle effects of class and racism and the thrill that comes from speaking truth to power.
