Fast-paced and suspenseful story about two young reporters on a school newspaper. Adam and Jennifer have just become co-editors of their school newspaper, The Slash. It's the first issue...and already there's the smell of a scandal! One squeaky young reporter has spotted a discrepancy in the headmistress's story about a recent bequest to the school, and is determined to dig deeper. Some more super-sleuthing from the editors unearths a controversial secret and before long, it looks like The Slash is tackling big issues that could get them into even bigger trouble. However, just as the print run is about to be stopped by the crooked headmistress, they manage to email the issue to everyone they know, discrediting the headmistress for good, as well as alerting the community to the snide by-law about to be passed by the local council. An engaging fictional insight into the workings of a school newspaper - guaranteed to leave children asking for more. First in an exciting new series!
