Adam Canfield: The Last Reporter

WE'RE STILL HERE!!! The Slash is back! But there's no question--they're in a bad situation. A powerful family--the Bolands--terrorized the Slash a few months ago and completely shut it down. The school budget's pulled out, and they must fund themselves. They're self-run! The big question is, how will they raise one thousand dollars in a couple of weeks? Their final answer: the Ameche brothers, who have jumpstarted dozens of businesses, and kept them on a steady pace. The co-editors, Adam and Jennifer, check out the scene. The Ameche brothers are sketchy, but Adam decides to work with them. They're skilled at making money fast, but dangle strings on the end of the dough. And what is Don's sudden interest in Jennifer? Will they make it? Or is the Slash completely slashed to shreds? Readers will enjoy Winerip's fast pace and great humor. The relationship between Adam and Jennifer is balanced perfectly, as all normal relationships are. A little love, a lot of like, a nudge of rivalry, and a pinch of attitude is what keeps Adam and Jennifer running smoothly, and buoying the Slash in above a rough battle. It's kids vs. adults--a great topic and what makes //Adam Canfield The Last Reporter// an excellent book. Reviewed by Alex Masri
