About this series
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 co-editor 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.

1
For years, Adam Canfield has been the number-one star reporter for the Harris Elementary/Middle School paper, the Slash. Nowadays he’s also the most overprogrammed kid in America. Gladiator quiz bowl, jazz band, statewide test prep class—he’s always running somewhere, and nine times out of ten, running late. When does a guy get time to just shoot some baskets anymore? Then his friend Jennifer talks him into being co-editor of the Slash. Between supervising know-it-all cub reporters and arguing with Principal Marris about which articles will “propel the Good Ship Harris forward,” Adam worries he might lose it altogether. But then a third grader delivers a scoop bigger than any of Adam’s career, and only Adam can dig deep enough to crack through a cover-up that will rock the very foundations of Harris itself. From Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times columnist Michael Winerip, here is a first novel that delivers the rush of the newsroom, the adrenaline of a reporter on the trail of a hot story, and some keen insights into human nature—all with a lot of laughs.
- Adam Canfield Watch Your Back!

As co-editor of the Slash, the Harris Elementary/Middle School paper, Adam Canfield is used to getting the story. What he’s not used to is being the story, which is just what happens after he’s mugged by some high-school students for his snow-shoveling money. But it’s hard to keep a low profile when there’s still baritone and basketball practice, a new principal to figure out, a science fair sham to uncover, a bully survey to monitor, a three-hundred-year-old tree to save, and the next issue of the Slash to take care of. It’s enough to drive a kid over the edge. Luckily, Adam’s got Jennifer, his trusty (and cute!) co-editor, to help him keep it together. But when the Slash is threatened, will they be able to get the story and keep the paper going, all without getting expelled?

Michael Winerip
Michael Winerip is the author of Adam Canfield of the Slash and a Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter for the New York Times. He says, “After I finished writing the first Adam Canfield novel, I thought, Well, that’s that. But then Adam, Jennifer, and Phoebe were still staring at me, and I could see immediately that they were not done with their work. They were hungry to report more news stories, anxious to right more wrongs, desperate to tell the truth as they saw it, dying to comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable. I knew that they needed to get busy doing what they do best, putting out the Slash, the world’s greatest middle-school newspaper. And so you have it, a sequel.” Michael Winerip lives in Lido Beach, New York, with his wife and four children.
