A "dirty" school election, suspicious state test scores Adam Canfield and his star reporters are chasing some red-hot leads. Theres only one glitch: the school board has shut down THE SLASH for exposing the towns 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. Whats worse, Adam hasnt a clue why his coeditor, Jennifer, is suddenly acting weird. . . . With kid-friendly humor and a touch of budding romance, this adventure revisits a winning cast of characters and the excitement that comes from uncovering a really great story.
