The Landry News

　　一份學生自製的校園報，喚回教師的教學熱忱
　　看見言論的自由與報導的善念

　　對五年級卡拉來說，身為丹頓小學新生已經夠糟了，更糟的是她的導師是那位只會看報紙、喝咖啡，不幫學生上課的羅森老師。卡拉自製了一份校園報，在她還沒察覺前，她的報紙已經成了全班的專題計畫，並且也成為校長解聘羅森老師的計畫之一。不用多久，羅森老師的教室，忽然成了丹頓小學創校以來最出色的教學基地。卡拉與同學們終於可以學到東西了，但這些重要的課程，是否讓羅森老師賠上這份工作呢？這個故事不僅帶領讀者探討了媒體的存在意義、價值與公義，並且幫助教師重新喚醒對教育的熱忱。

　　★本書中譯版《蘭德理校園報》由遠流出版。

NEW STUDENT GETS OLD TEACHER The bad news is that Cara Landry is the new kid at Denton Elementary School.

So Cara decides to give Mr. Larson something else to read -- her own newspaper, The Landry News. Before she knows it, the whole fifth-grade class is in on the project. But then the principal finds a copy of The Landry News, with unexpected results. Tomorrow’s headline: Will Cara’s newspaper cost Mr. Larson his job?
