Its election time at Cherry Valley Middle School, and Sam thinks shes got the scoop on the candidates! But her investigative journalism reveals some surprises
Cherry Valley Middle School is holding elections for class presidentand the choice couldnt be more obvious to Samantha Martone. John Parker is clearly the better candidate: hes articulate, handsome, charismatic, and full of great ideas. (Longer lunch hours, less homework, and iPads for the newspaper staff!)
But Mr. Trigg reminds Sam to (1) Do her research and (2) Stay objective. And in the process of practicing good journalism, Sam realizes that while John looks and sounds great, he might not actually be the best pick.
Rachel Wise loves to give advice. When shes not editing or writing childrens books, which she does full-time at a publisher in New York, shes reading advice columns in newspapers, magazines, and blogsand is always sure her advice would be better! Her dream is to someday have her own talk show, where she could share her wisdom with millions of people at once, but for now shes happy to dole out advice in small portions in Dear Know-It-All books.
