A dirty school election, suspicious state test scores — Adam Canfield and his middle-grade star reporters are chasing some red-hot leads. There’s only one glitch: the school board has shut down the Slash for exposing the town’s most powerful family, and now the staff has to find a way to publish it themselves. Enter the Ameche brothers, two goofy kid entrepreneurs with a knack for refurbishing junk and a talent for selling ads, but a shaky command of journalistic ethics. What’s worse, Adam hasn’t a clue why coeditor Jennifer is acting weird. With kid-friendly humor and a touch of budding romance, this new adventure revisits a winning cast of characters — and the excitement that comes from uncovering a really great story.

In this, the third Adam Canfield book, Pulitzer Prize–winning New York Times reporter Michael Winerip delights listeners yet again with an action-packed story about always-on-the-run Adam. Like Adam Canfield of the Slash and Adam Canfield, Watch Your Back! this audiobook gets the story — and gets it right.
