Darnell Rock Reporting

By Walter Dean Myers

Book Overview

DARNELL ROCK IS not the kind of kid who volunteers to write for the newspaper--it sounds too much like homework. But this is Darnell's last chance to pull himself together and make a positive contribution to his school. At first, Darnell would rather be hanging out with his sister and his friends. But soon he gets interested in the Oakdale Gazette . Much to his surprise, Darnell discovers that people pay attention to the words he writes. Before he knows it, Darnell changes from a kid who can't do anything right to a person who can make a difference.

Customer Reviews

Ghetto Reporter

What's up! What do you think about Darnell Rock Reporting? Well, this is what I thing about this Ghetto- Fab book. Darnell Rock is a tight like the light book. It's is about a boy named Darnell. He used to be the so bad. But, some thing's changes in Darnell's life. A girl named Paula Snow, tried out to be a interviewer. So Darnell wants to be a interviewer because Paula Snow works there. His sister Tamika makes fun of Paula Snow, by calling her sandwiches greasy. That is what I think. You better get this book five stars are else. Thank you. God bless.
