5.0 out of 5 starsSmall things become big events in this story with "heart!"
By X. Libris on February 28, 2002
Format: Hardcover
A couple of weeks ago I read "Frindle," by Andrew Clements, and decided it was one of the best kids' books I'd read in a long time. As a result, I decided to read "The Landry News," and my reaction is just as positive. I'm an elementary school librarian, and I can tell you I'll be ordering several more copies of these books--as well as other titles by Clements--for our library.
Clements has a way of writing a deceptively simple story--with many interweaving layers--that make his tales appealing to both children and adults. As in "Frindle," where a fifth-grade boy invents a new word, Clements takes a small, seemingly insignificant event, in this case the creation of a single newspaper posted on the wall by a new girl in class, to set in motion a growing chain of events that gets bigger and bigger. It's almost as if Andrew Clements is saying that there is no such thing as an insignificant event. As John Donne wrote, "No man is an island."
Some of the seemingly small things that moves the plot along in this engaging story are: not one, but two divorces; the newspaper on the wall; a burned-out teacher reading newspapers and drinking coffee; a mother reading a couple of verses from the Book of Psalms to her daughter; apologies; a helpful librarian; a "concerned" principal; an inquisitive small town newspaper reporter; new friends; the Bill of Rights and; "truth and mercy."
If these two first books are any indication, Andrew Clements is an author worth paying attention to. His stories have "heart."
This book, written at a 6th grade level, would make an excellent read-aloud for upper elementary classes. Having said that, I think this story is inspiring enough to be read to any class--even up through high school--that is involved in journalism or some kind of "newspapers in education" curriculum. This is one of those stories that has staying power and is filled with wisdom. Highly recommended!

4.0 out of 5 starsgreat book
A Kid's Review on December 21, 2004
Format: Paperback
This book is great; The Landry News features many details about newspapers. I learned about parts on a newspaper I didn't even know existed. As Cara Landry starts fifth grade at another school, she feels a little nervous. Mr. Larson, her teacher does not teach. Cara sees that all Mr. Larson pays attention to is a newspaper while drinking his coffee. She decides to make her own newspaper with the help of her friends, but she has some articles that can cause problems for other people.

I would recommend this book to anyone. It had humor and mystery. It was very descriptive and it kept me involved. I always wanted to read more to see what would happen next.

5.0 out of 5 starsDon't miss this one!
By D.C. on September 2, 2000
Format: Paperback
A timely back-to-school read for parents, students and teachers (even principals!). I started reading after dinner and didn't put the book down until I finished. Without giving away the twists and turns of the story, the book touches upon the essence of teaching and learning. Best of all the story values empathy, initiative, and student self-expression. My fifth grade son was so inspired while reading, he sat down and tapped out his own "newspaper" on the computer. Buy this book for upper grade students, and make sure your school library has a copy. This story is sure to make a few teachers squirm, and many parents think twice about the challenges of teaching. Who knows how many student/classroom newspapers the story will inspire!

A Kid's Review on January 25, 2007
Format: Paperback
This is an awesome book because it will get you sitting on the edge of your seat just waiting to see what happens next. Almost every time you read another surprise happens. It's about a girl named Cara Landry who changes her teacher's life and changes him into a different person by writing a school newspaper.

The motto of this book is truth and mercy. Cara is the kind of girl who you can trust because she never gives up. Mr. Larson in this book is a guy who reads the paper and drinks coffee while he's supposed to teach the class. Dr. Barnes is the principal of the school and all he thinks about is himself and getting Mr. Larson fired. I would recommend this book for kids ages 8 and up. I loved this book because it was exciting and because I thought the characters had interesting personalities and there was always something going on between Mr. Larson and Dr. Barnes, which made the book more interesting to read.

3.0 out of 5 starsEducational but not until the end
By Marcella on March 22, 2015
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
This was required reading for my daughter at school so had no choice. She struggled with it as it was just not a terribly exciting book. I however did like it because of it's educational undertone (a teacher gets in trouble and the kids have to use the judicial system in a sense to get him out of trouble). This was a bit over my daughters head (she is 8) so I had to explain the process and what was going on. This also didn't come until the end of the book, so you had to wait till the end of the book to find out what the whole book was really aiming for.

5.0 out of 5 starsAbsolutely Loved It!!!
By momof4 on November 28, 2012
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
I read this book so that I could help my oldest son with his homework and I absolutely loved it! I even told my daughter about it who I am sure will love it too. I teared up a little bit when they boy read his story towards the end and I think it is a good way to learn about journalism, the bill of rights and fighting for your rights. I can not stress enough that every child (of the appropriate reading level) should read this book!
