“The Landry News” by Andrew Clements

“The Landry News,” by Andrew Clements, is a meaningful novel about the effects of a young girl's newspaper project, first on her class, and finally on her entire school.

In every school that Cara Landry goes to she starts her newspaper: The Landry News. Reporting is something that she loves to do. Unfortunately, Cara always seems to get in trouble because of her newspapers, which are known for scathing editorials written by Cara herself. Sometimes she jumps to wrong conclusions and reports incorrectly. Other times she gets ahead of herself and makes false accusations. At any rate, The Landry News always seems to end with Cara in the principal's office trying to explain herself.

  1. Sounds like a fantastic premise, particularly given a lot of the student/ teacher/ free speech issues cropping up these days all over the place.

  4. Whether you are searching for specialty styling products or specific Loreal hair products, you are sure
    to find what you need. Likewise, using imported shampoos and conditioners from a tropical country when your climate is cold and temperate is not such a good idea.
    The product should be one that is made for your type of hair, whether it be dry, oily, curly or straight.

  5. To start a thing from the grass root level is not an easy task. You have to struggle a lot. This is the novel based on the girl’s struggle about the publishing of a newspaper. Students would find this very interesting about the content writing. She was a successful at the end. This shows that if you are determined then you can do anything.
