Stacey Stone: Hot Gossip
Stacey is not happy. Mr Pook, the head teacher, is now refusing to fund The Grundy Times (could it have been something to do with that picture in the last edition?). The only way to keep the paper going is to make some money, and Nat 'n' Matt have the perfect solution- Hot Gossip. Yes, The Grundy Times, home of hard-hitting journalism and angst-filled agony columns, is now a celebrity glossy.

Meet Stacey Stone! Agony Aunt extraordinaire! With her school magazine on the brink of ruin thanks to more students running a Hot Gossip mag, Stacey has to figure out a way to save her beloved newspaper.
This is definitely one of my favourite reads from when I was younger. This book is really simply written, but the characters feel real enough for me to forgive the more simple writing.
I think this appealed to me more due to the fact that when I was younger and when I read this, I really wanted to be a journalist. I thought it was the coolest job so I connected really quickly with Stacey. I loved this book so much and even went as far to read it three times in one day. It was simply stunning to me back when I was a kid, and I'm sure I'd 3 or 4 star it if I read it again now.
If you like books marketed to more younger aged young adult, then definitely try this one out!
