MoreMetal detectors in middle school? Hidden video cameras in the hallways? Get real! Casey Smith, girl reporter, has a tingling sensation in her nose that can mean only one thing: she's on to a hot news story. Shouldn't the students have a say in a decision like this? And while she's at it, what's up with the student popularity contest--uh, that is, student election? As Trumbull Middle School gears up for student council elections, Casey decides to insert a little substance into the process. And with someone apparently sabotaging the campaign, the metal detector issue heating up, and the debate about popularity raging, Casey has her work cut out for her.
As always, this passionate sixth-grade journalist is ready to dive headfirst into the important issues of the day, whether it's a budget reduction for the school paper or school violence. Her sometimes squirmy self-scrutiny will ring true for any child who sometimes feels like an outsider--which includes just about everyone. Award-winning author Linda Ellerbee, creator of the Get Real series, including Girl Reporter Blows Lid Off Town and Girl Reporter Snags Crush, is also the producer and host of the Emmy Award-winning Nick News TV series. Her light, humorous touch and attention to topics highly relevant to teens and preteens today make the Get Real series a real winner. (Ages 9 to 12) --Emilie Coulter
