About the Book The School Story

The School Story by Andrew Clements is a heartwarming middle-grade novel that follows the journey of two twelve-year-old girls, Natalie Nelson and Zoe Reisman, as they navigate the world of publishing. Natalie, a budding writer, has penned a novel titled The Cheater. Encouraged by her best friend Zoe, who believes in the potential of Natalie’s work, they embark on a mission to get the book published.

Natalie’s mother, Hannah, is an editor at a publishing company, but Natalie wants her book to be judged on its own merits, not because of her mother’s position. To achieve this, Natalie adopts the pseudonym Cassandra Day, and Zoe takes on the role of her literary agent. With the help of their supportive English teacher, Ms. Clayton, the girls manage to submit the manuscript to Hannah’s publishing house without revealing Natalie’s true identity.

The novel explores themes of friendship, perseverance, and the power of believing in oneself. It also provides an insightful look into the publishing process, making it both an educational and inspiring read for young aspiring writers. Through their determination and creativity, Natalie and Zoe demonstrate that age is no barrier to achieving one’s dreams. The School Story is a delightful tale that celebrates the joys of writing, the strength of friendship, and the importance of following one’s passion.
