Product Description:
NEW STUDENT GETS OLD TEACHER
The bad news is that Cara Landry is the new kid at Denton Elementary School. The worse news is that her teacher, Mr. Larson, would rather read the paper and drink coffee than teach his students anything. 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?

While I don't think this is nearly at the same level as the classic "Frindle", Clements once again makes a worthy story of kids doing something big, though it does come off as rather preachy.
We have a little girl who loves writing. So she starts a school newspaper that gets a little out of hand when she prints something controversial that nearly costs the supporting teacher his job.
It's a meaningful, touching, and often hilarious story about what kids can do and whether or not they should.

This is an ok book. A girl named Cara (which I do not know how to say) is the nobody of her school. Nobody knows who she is until one day she posts a newsletter on the wall of her teacher's classroom. The teacher, Mr. Larson is a really lazy teacher who doesn't do much while he is teaching. He just sits around and reads the newspaper. So to shorten most of it, Cara writes something mean about the lazy teacher Mr. Larson and he gets mad. Cara then apologizes and then Mr. Larson realizes he is a bad teacher and he decides that the class project will have to make a school newspaper.He then puts Cara in charge. Then the pricipal,Dr. Barnes finds a problem in the newspaper that he doesn't like and then tries to get Mr. Larson fired and they go to court and blah blah blah.
For me it was way too easy. There really isn't many characters just the girl and the teacher. This book is ment for kids younger then twelve to read. The ending was good but in the end I didn't care what happened. The pros would be little nice short story that makes you feel good. Cons areit was just too easy and when in the part of when he seus him, you already know that it will be a happy ending.

In my opinion The Landry News was a great book because it was so realistic.It had problems that could happen to any kid.Everybody has school problems,and it's talking about a girls problem with her principal and teacher.For these reasons I thout that The Landry News was an exiting and fun book to read.

I think The Landry News is a truly inspiring story. For instance, when Mr. Larson knew that there was a possibility he could get fired instead of panicking he just started teaching and turned the emotional stir into a journalism unit for his class. The Landry News is one of the best kids books I have ever read! It just feels like you are going through the whole adventure with Cara and Mr. Larson. I think Andrew Clements has an amazing way of grasping the thoughts that go on in kid's heads during school. This story is a great one to read and if you have the opportunity you should definitely read it. I reccomend this book for anyone else who is interested in reading thr Landry News.

I think this is a good book for 4th-6th graders. I didn't think that this was a hard story to read. Any kid that can get their hands on it should. This is a good story because it has an interesting problem. The book had a lot of characters, so that made it fun to read. Read This Book!
