Adam Canfield of the Slash by Michael Winerip

“Our job as reporters is to tell the truth as we see it. It has to be backed by facts, but that’s what good newspapers do.” - Adam Canfield of the Slash

Adam Canfield went from finding out the facts to figuring out how the facts would end up in the Slash, the Harris Elementary/Middle School newspaper. He moves from star reporter to co-editor because Jennifer, a girl “with a pretty good smile”, asks him to help her out even though he really thinks digging up the details and writing a story is much better than being an editor.

“Adam Canfield of the Slash” by Michael Winerip tells the story of how what you think at first can become something totally different. Adam learns that adding another “program” to his “over-programmed” life actually puts Adam smack in the middle of local mysteries that he helps investigate, solve and report about and makes his decision totally worth it in the end.
