A school scandal, student reporters, and a race for the truth!
Things don't usually come to a screeching halt at Ridgewood Arts & Technical School. But that's what happens when Headmistress Hardaway announces, "A scandal has rocked the fundraising committee!" Everyone's a suspect, and student council special investigator Hunter Jackson vows to find the culprit.
Ridgewood Roar news editor, Anthony Ravello, and rogue journalist, Liberty Lennon, plan to do some digging of their own, racing to scoop the truth to their faithful readers...or at least their versions of it. As the truth gets murkier, all students can do is gobble up news bytes and try to unmask the classmate responsible for the missing funds. Perfect for middle grade readers who love mysteries and school stories!
