Sadiq is eager to join the new school newspaper. He’s a good writer, and he likes asking lots of questions! But when Katy, the student editor-in-chief, hands out reporting assignments, Sadiq doesn’t agree with her idea of “news.” Instead of reporting on important things happening at school, Katy seems intent on embarrassing people! Can Sadiq find the courage to speak up and replace the paper’s gossip stories with real news? Somali American author Siman Nuurali offers another installment in the delightful Sadiq chapter book series.
