Oh, Snap!

Zander, Kambui, LaShonda, and Bobbi are the free-thinkers that publish The Cruiser, an independent school paper at the Da Vinci Academy for he Gifted and Talented in Harlem.  Once again they dip into hot water.  Their paper outranked the official school paper, The Palette.  Kambui took candid photos and happened to catch another student talking with some boys accused of robbing the mall theater.  The Cruisers have to decide what to do with the photo.  Innocent or guilty?  Should they let the police go through their own procedures?  LaShonda is trying to start a small fashion design business and needs to get the attention of the stores.  Bobbi presents a math problem involving geometry and Fibonacci for the class to solve that pops up throughout the book.  Students share their opinions and thoughts in articles published by both papers.  Dialogue is realistic and the content includes many thought-provoking incidents.  Although this is the fourth in the series, none of the books need to be read in order.
