Product Description
Read by Andrew McCarthy
Approx. 2.5 hours, 2 cassettes
Cara Landry is a budding journalist. When she posts a scathing editorial about her burned-out teacher on the bulletin board one afternoon, everything changes. Prodded into action for the first time in years, Mr. Larson challenges his fifth-grade students to create a real newspaper. Soon The Landry News gets more attention than either Cara or her teacher bargained.
A compelling novel about the collision of a student in need of a teacher with a teacher in need of inspiration.

 A book review January 28, 2008
This is an ok book. A girl named Cara (which I do not know how to say) is the nobody of her school. Nobody knows who she is until one day she posts a newsletter on the wall of her teacher's classroom. The teacher, Mr. Larson is a really lazy teacher who doesn't do much while he is teaching. He just sits around and reads the newspaper. So to shorten most of it, Cara writes something mean about the lazy teacher Mr. Larson and he gets mad. Cara then apologizes and then Mr. Larson realizes he is a bad teacher and he decides that the class project will have to make a school newspaper.He then puts Cara in charge. Then the pricipal,Dr. Barnes finds a problem in the newspaper that he doesn't like and then tries to get Mr. Larson fired and they go to court and blah blah blah.
For me it was way too easy. There really isn't many characters just the girl and the teacher. This book is ment for kids younger then twelve to read. The ending was good but in the end I didn't care what happened. The pros would be little nice short story that makes you feel good. Cons areit was just too easy and when in the part of when he seus him, you already know that it will be a happy ending.
 Reid's reivew for Mr.B's assinment October 2, 2007
In my opinion The Landry News was a great book because it was so realistic.It had problems that could happen to any kid.Everybody has school problems,and it's talking about a girls problem with her principal and teacher.For these reasons I thout that The Landry News was an exiting and fun book to read.

 A Kid's Reveiw October 2, 2007
I think The Landry News is a truly inspiring story. For instance, when Mr. Larson knew that there was a possibility he could get fired instead of panicking he just started teaching and turned the emotional stir into a journalism unit for his class. The Landry News is one of the best kids books I have ever read! It just feels like you are going through the whole adventure with Cara and Mr. Larson. I think Andrew Clements has an amazing way of grasping the thoughts that go on in kid's heads during school. This story is a great one to read and if you have the opportunity you should definitely read it. I reccomend this book for anyone else who is interested in reading thr Landry News.

 Landry News Review by Travis Johnson October 1, 2007
I think this is a good book for 4th-6th graders. I didn't think that this was a hard story to read. Any kid that can get their hands on it should. This is a good story because it has an interesting problem. The book had a lot of characters, so that made it fun to read. Read This Book!
The Landry News - An Awesome Book September 30, 2007

I liked this book because it had a lot of different emotions - from Dr. Barne's anger at Mr. Larson to Cara being sad about her parent's divorce. It is a great lesson on free speech. I highly recommend you read this book.
