Adam Canfield: Watch Your Back
By Michael Winerip
The star reporter is caught up in a big scoop --but this time it’s about him -- in a savvy, engaging story that takes on school bullies and other tyrants.
For overprogrammed highschooler Adam Canfield, waking up to a snow day is a dream come true -- a chance to sleep late, put off planning the next issue of The Slash, and make some quick cash with his shovel. But then some high-school kids mug Adam for his shoveling money. Not only does the media blast the embarrassing story, but Adam’s own co-editors plan a contest outing bullies at their school.
- In a second look behind the scenes at a highschool newspaper, Michael Winerip deftly blends kid-friendly humour with some provocative issues.
- Examines the subtle effects of class and racism and the thrill that comes from speaking truth to power.
