Adam Canfield, Watch Your Back!
By Winerip, Michael
"Lots of laugh-out-loud humor, perfectly satirizing state tests, overzealous parents, and kids who are in danger of being enriched to death." SCHOOL AND LIBRARY JOURNALFor 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 Adams 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.

Adam Canfield
By Winerip, Michael
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.
