Illustrated by
Salvatore Murdocca.
When fifth-grader Cara, a creative loner, publishes her own newspaper and editorializes on the absence of teaching in her classroom, she evolves into a popular editor while her teacher returns to the kind of motivating teacher he used to be. The text flows effortlessly yet explores thought-provoking issues such as intellectual freedom that are likely to engender further exploration.
