{"product_id":"the-school-story-9780689825941","title":"The School Story","description":"Twelve-year-old Natalie Nelson has written a powerful school story. It's a short novel called \"The Cheater,\" and her best friend Zoe is certain it should be published. All Natalie has to do is give the manuscript to her mom, an editor at a big publishing house. However Natalie doesn't want any favors from her mom. Still, Zoe won't drop the idea. \u003cbr\u003e Spurred into action, Natalie invents a pen name for herself and Zoe becomes a self-styled literary agent. But if the girls are to succeed, they'll need support from their wary English teacher, legal advice from Zoe's tough-talking father, and some clever maneuvering to outwit the overbearing editor in chief of Shipley Junior Books. \u003cbr\u003e Andrew Clements, the best-selling author of \u003ci\u003eFrindle, The Landry News, \u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Janitor's Boy, \u003c\/i\u003e delights his audience with this story of two irrepressible girls who use their talent, ingenuity, and a little cunning to try to make a young writer's dream come true.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Atheneum Books for Young Readers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780689825941\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.83lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.55h x 5.83w x 0.81d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Maine Student Book Award - Second Place\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e California Young Reader Medal - Winner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Sunshine State Young Reader's Award - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Bluebonnet Awards - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Nevada Young Readers' Award - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Bookseller's Choice - Winner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Parents Choice Award (Fall) (1998-2007) - Winner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Pennsylvania Young Reader's Choice Award - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Nutmeg Book Award - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Iowa Children's Choice (ICCA) Award - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Golden Sower Award - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Young Reader's Choice Award - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Sequoyah Book Awards - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Review - Children\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/15\/2001 pg. 582\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/28\/2001 pg. 88\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHorn Book Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2001 pg. 448\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eIngram Children's Advance\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2001 pg. 72\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2001 pg. 1879\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2001 pg. 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBookPage\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2001 pg. 28\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2001 pg. 478\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHornbook Guide to Children\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2001 pg. 301 - Superior,Well Above Average\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHornbook Guide to Children\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2001 pg. 301 - Superior,Well Above Average\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader Quiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e50395 \/ School Story\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 5.2 \/ \u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Middle Grade \/ \u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 5\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Andrew Clements","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42935512203445,"sku":"9780689825941","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_ae0d7e54-b5fc-4226-8f2f-3b9352d2a6f6.jpg?v=1688488500","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-school-story-9780689825941","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
