Publisher Description:
As coeditor of the Slash, the Harris Elementary/Middle School paper, Adam Canfield is used to getting the story. What hes not used to is being the story, which is just what happens after hes mugged by some high-school students for his snow-shoveling money.
But its hard to keep a low profile when theres still baritone and basketball practice, a new principal to figure out, a science fair sham to uncover, a bully survey to monitor, a three-hundred-year-old tree to save, and the next issue of the Slash to take care of. Its enough to drive a kid over the edge. Luckily, Adams got Jennifer, his trusty (and cute ) coeditor, to help him keep it together. But when the Slash is threatened, will they be able to get the story and keep the paper going, all without getting expelled?

Contributor Bio(s): Winerip, Michael: - Michael Winerip is the author of Adam Canfield of the Slash and a Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter for the New York Times. He says, "After I finished writing the first Adam Canfield novel, I thought, Well, that's that. But then Adam, Jennifer, and Phoebe were still staring at me, and I could see immediately that they were not done with their work. They were hungry to report more news stories, anxious to right more wrongs, desperate to tell the truth as they saw it, dying to comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable. I knew that they needed to get busy doing what they do best, putting out the Slash, the world's greatest middle-school newspaper. And so you have it, a sequel." Michael Winerip lives in Lido Beach, New York, with his wife and four children.
