Review by Nathan:
This book by Andrew Clements is a must read for middle schoolers. It tells the story of two middle school girls named Natalie and Zoe. Natalie's dad died in an accident when she was younger and she misses him. One day she decides to write a story loosely based on her own life to honor her father. She shows the story to Zoe (her friend) who insist it is good enough to be published. But Natalie's mom works as an editor and she tells Natalie that unless you have a good agent it is almost impossible to get your book published.
The first thought is to tell her mom about the story and ask her mom to get the book published but this could cause accusations of favoritism. So Zoe comes up with the daring idea to act as Natalie's agent. But to go through with this plan they need to enlist the help of an adult. They get Ms. Clayton their English teacher to help them. Soon the plan is under way but will it succeed?
