I loved this book. Hildy is an individualistic girl who doesn't back down when faced with difficult circumstances. She sees a problem in her town, and she decides to try to fix it. It shows teenagers that they have the power to be heard. The novel infuses newspaper articles and headlines to make it interesting. It also taught me how journalistic writing differs from other forms of writing, and I learned lessons of how to be a better interviewer. I may never use these facts, but they were still interesting to me!
