Laurel discovers her passion for investigative journalism when she writes an article for her school paper about the homeless man who's been living at the school. Eager to write more articles with impact, she launches an investigation of a cheating scam at her high school. Laurel's efforts elicit hostility from her classmates. Nobody is interested in seeing her article go to print, not even her own brother. It is evident that the cheating is widespread, and Laurel, caught up in the thrill of the investigation, is willing to commit social suicide to get the story, but her ultimate discovery changes everything.

This story is about discovering who is the cheater. The main characters that are in the stories are Laurel, Jack and Sean. The only character that credible is Laurel. The Laurel is article/reporter, Jack is basketball and cheats and Sean too. Laurel run into many problems about who the cheater and it makes her in danger and suffer sometimes. Laurel is my favourite character, because she save Sean his brother Jack from continuing cheating. I was somehow like Jack before a part of the cheating group. Like Jack now, he got caught because he was a part of it. I like this book, because of Laurel's actions it shows me cheating is not always a good thing to do. My favourite scene is when Sean know Laurel is doing this, so Sean send him a threat letter, i like scene because Laurel is like fighting the enemy that she can't see is very interesting part to read. I least like the part is when all the things is over Sean got kick out and Jack got suspended. I wish I can change the ending around a little bit. I would like to recommend this book to other, who is very interest in these
