Publisher's Summary

When Ash gets kicked off her school's news show, she becomes a renegade reporter - and makes a big discovery about technology and her fellow students' privacy.

Ash and her friends are reporters. They were ready to lead their school news show, The News at Nine, sponsored by Van Ness Media, when an unfortunate incident involving a dancing teacher, an irresponsibly reported story, and a viral video got them kicked off the crew. So Ash, Maya, and Brielle decide to start their own news show, The Underground News. And soon they stumble on a big lead: Van Ness Media, the educational company that provides their school's software, has been gathering data from all the kids at school. Their drawings, their journals, even their movements are being recorded and cataloged by Van Ness Media. But why? Ash and her friends are determined to learn the truth and report it.

What the critics say

“Weissman develops the rivalry and lunchroom shenanigans well against a Baltimore backdrop with recognizable local details...triumphant conclusion makes a solid case for kids’ digital literacy.” (Publishers Weekly)

"The story features current issues and a diverse cast of characters who encounter problems and family situations that are now a part of life for many. The students have supportive adults around them as well as some who are not quite so nice. The novel is well worth rereads and discussions, but can also be enjoyed for the empowering feeling it imparts." (School Library Connection)

“In this entertaining, thought-provoking novel.... Brent Weissman's lively narrative (and an author's note at the end) offers the target age group much to think about when it comes to issues of online privacy.” (The Buffalo News)
