From R.S.: This book was good. Zander and his best friends are in one of the highest rating school ( Da Vinci Academy) . Although zander and his friends are making their school look bad they decide they are going to make a news paper article called The Cruisers. What I liked about this book is them as friends never gave up on each other.

Eighth grade is hard enough, but when you're a Cruiser, you're really put to the test. The launch of a new middle-grade series from bestselling award-winner Walter Dean Myers.
Zander and his friends, Kambui, LaShonda, and Bobbi start their own newspaper, The Cruiser, as a means for speaking out, keeping the peace, and expressing what they believe. When the school launches a mock Civil War, Zander and his friends are forced to consider the true meaning of democracy and what it costs to stand up for a cause. The result is nothing they could have expected, and everything they could have hoped for.

I would advise you to read this book. This isn't the best book but its good. The best part was when he was about to move with his dad , although he didn't want to.
