In this start to an all-new series, Samantha begins writing her school paper's advice column-and finds out fast that some things are easier said than written.

Every middle-school girl has questions about her future, but to star school newspaper reporter Samantha Martone, getting the scoop is her life. Sam plans to travel the world someday as a journalist, and in the meantime she's thrilled that her newspaper adviser, Mr. Trigg, has chosen her for a special gig: For the next year, she'll be the school's anonymous advice columnist.
Being the voice of "Dear Know-It-All" is exciting, and an important secret to keep-especially when Sam figures out that one of the letters she receives is actually from her best friend. Sam's mortified to learn her BFF also has a crush on fellow newspaper staffer-and pitcher for the baseball team-Michael Lawrence. Can Sam still give good advice when her own love interest is on the line?
