Stephanie Kate Strohm - Author
A school-set story about Angelica pursuing a reporting opportunity while several major student events collide. It offers a lively premise involving journalism, school traditions, competition and the pressure to make one’s work count.
Angelica Marie Hutcherson is an aspiring reporter for the San Anselmo Prep's newspaper, The Prepster; sophomore Colin Von Kohorn is its editor, who keeps rejecting her stories because they do not reflect his "vision"; but when Colin suggests she write a story on the upcoming Academic Battle, Angelica senses an opportunity--unfortunately somebody has scheduled the Battle (which their school always wins) on the same day as the homecoming game (which they always lose), and to make the chaos complete it is also the day for class elections.

Angelica is an aspiring reporter whose stories are rejected by the student editor, then receives an assignment that may offer a new opportunity.
The Academic Battle, homecoming game and class elections are scheduled for the same day, despite contrasting records in the first two events.
It could prompt discussion of whose priorities shape school life: established traditions, student journalism, sporting success or elections. Notice how Angelica responds when an opportunity is offered by someone who has rejected her work.
This is a grounded book brief while Suitabook strengthens the analysis: the current material supports only a cautious reading; another book-specific source is still needed.
