So Ash, Maya, and Brielle decide to start their own news show, The Underground News. And soon they stumble on a big lead: Van Ness Media, the educational company that provides their school's software, has been gathering data from all the kids at school.

Praise for The Renegade Reporters
Absolutely delightful! We need more renegade reporters in the world-please! -RJ Palacio, bestselling author of Wonder
The story features current issues and a diverse cast of characters who encounter problems and family situations that are now a part of life for many. The students have supportive adults around them as well as some who are not quite so nice. The novel is well worth rereads and discussions, but can also be enjoyed for the empowering feeling it imparts. -School Library Connection
The unfolding of the investigation is skillfully handled, and kids will cheer for the perspicacious young reporters . . . A solid mystery that discusses data privacy and journalistic integrity. -Kirkus
Weissman develops the rivalry and lunchroom shenanigans well against a Baltimore backdrop with recognizable local details . . . triumphant conclusion makes a solid case for kids' digital literacy. -Publishers Weekly
Weissman uses a diverse cast to tackle the issue of data privacy in a way that will be accessible and understandable for a tween audience . . . The timely topic and author's note on privacy offer opportunities for further discussion, making this a solid choice for libraries and social justice book clubs. -Booklist
In this entertaining, thought-provoking novel . . . Brent Weissman's lively narrative (and an author's note at the end) offers the target age group much to think about when it comes to issues of online privacy. -The Buffalo News

Praise for Elissa Brent Weissman's The Length of a String
Sydney Taylor Honor Book
Told in two voices which Weissman weaves together like a double helix, this is a story of family ties, some of which are broken by war, some broken by choice, some broken by unanswered questions. But by the end, readers will see that love and faith--from strangers, from friends, and from long-gone ancestors--have the power to knit us together with strings that are so much stronger than genetics. I loved this sweet refuge of a book. --Kathi Appelt, Newbery Honor-winning author of The Underneath and The True Blue Scouts of Sugar Man Swamp
You'll yearn with this wonderful heroine as she searches for long-ago Anna and her own hidden past. The characters are unforgettable, and the ending is entirely satisfying. A book readers will love; I know I did. --Patricia Reilly Giff, Newbery Honor-winning author of Lily's Crossing
The Length of a String is a resounding continuum of connection and search for self. As universal as it is personal. A must read. --Rita Williams-Garcia, Newbery Honor-winning author of One Crazy Summer
