Can you imagine working for the school paper and then finding something very secretive about your school?  What if you found out that your very own school was in the middle of some fraud expenditures?  What if it was your principal who was using school funds to luxuriate her office?  In this funny mystery, three school journalists snoop their way to the answers, and along the way they must determine how and what to share.  School and journalism ethics get questioned in this fast pace novel by Michael Winerip.  What will they tell?
