Twelve-year-old Natalie has written a fabulous book and is determined to get it published. Luckily, she has connections to the publishing world--her mother is an assistant editor at a major publisher. However, Natalie doesn't want any favors and doesn't want her mom to know that she wrote a novel. So she and her best friend Zoë devise a plan. Natalie uses a pseudonym, Zoë pretends to be an agent, and with a little help from an English teacher, the girls succeed. Not only does Natalie's mom publish the novel, but it exceeds everyone's expectations and becomes a bestseller!©2001 Andrew Clements; (P)2002 Random House, Inc., Listening Library, an imprint of the Random House Audio Publishing Group

Andrew Clements Can Do No Wrong

I read The School Story by Andrew Clements with my 5th grade students, and once again—Andrew Clements can do no wrong. This book was engaging from start to finish and sparked so many great conversations in our classroom.
What I loved most was the strong, positive female characters. The relationship between the protagonist and her mother felt supportive and realistic, and her best friend? A total firecracker. Watching the dynamic between the quiet friend and the outgoing friend was such a joy—especially seeing how they pushed each other to grow, take risks, and believe in themselves.
The story celebrates creativity, teamwork, and courage in a way that feels accessible and empowering for students. It models healthy friendships and shows how different personalities can work together beautifully.
The School Story is exactly the kind of book I want in my classroom—one that encourages students to speak up, support each other, and realize their ideas matter. A definite win for both readers and teachers.
