Fifteen-year-old Angelica's 250-word newspaper article about San Anselmo Prep's Academic Battle turns into an expose of a scheduling mix-up that puts several important school events on homecoming day. This companion to It's Not Me, It's You uses the same format--a series of interview transcripts constantly switching perspectives--but it's less effective with this story. Still, carefully crafted sentences and a clever mystery should engage readers.
