When Lainie Stanton receives a call from a TV reporter inviting her to be interviewed as Ohio’s first millennium baby she is flattered. Her Uncs and father are not as thrilled. They see this as possible issue, especially if the reporter’s intentions are not true. Their worst fears come true. During the taping of the interview Lainie is faced with pictures of her great-grandmother’s hanging. Seventy-five years before her great-grandmother was tried and convicted of murder. Lainie blindsided by this reporter claims she has proof of her grandmother’s innocent. Now she has only a few weeks to make her lie a truth.
I loved the complexity of this book. The flipping back and forth between historical documents and present time kept me reading. This is definitely a book I will read again in the future. It was just that good. Definitely need a copy for my classroom shelves.

Highly recommended for all of us who work with words.

This book is a great read on a topic important to wordsmiths (or it ought to be, especially for those who've never understood what editors do to their copy).

This book is perhaps the most useful books on editing I've encountered (and I have read or owned at least half the books in the bibiliography). Written by a staffer at the University of Chicago, it looks at all the myriad problems and tasks of copy editing with a very light sense of humor. I enjoyed this book from the start, as the cover treatment apes a raw manuscript as it would have hit my desk when I was an editor.

This was a fun read, with an intriguing mystery. Lainie is a great MC, and I loved her friends. She had a unique start to life, and getting to know her, her friends, and her family, was a lot of fun. I especially liked her grandpa and great-uncles. I liked that we get to switch between modern day and the past, getting some insight into what happened so long ago, just little pieces at a time. Just enough to keep you interested, but not so much that you get the whole story all at once. A great read for middle schoolers!… (mais)

This was a book I was excited to read, and for a good reason! I felt the suspense, the anxiety, and the curiosity all through the authors words. The differences between middle schoolers and adults was funny and well written - showing two different mindsets about one situation. I think this book is one that any age above 13 would enjoy reading.
