Les Desirable: Nude Reporter - Middle School Karen S McGowan

I'm Les Desirable. Don't laugh. That's my real name. And my teacher, Mrs. Mudhole, won't let me forget it. I'm a world famous news reporter. While most kids my age are breaking wind, I'm always looking for breaking news.

Often, a reporter like me has to hang out with a blowhard and bully like Shamus Awl in order to get confidential information. I've learned about mysterious nighttime lights in the sky over Spyglass Hill. No one has ever gone across the county line and into the woodsy forest on Spyglass Hill-and lived to tell about it. No one. Ever.

I can usually count on thorough investigative reporting by my staff. Right now that would be one-my trusted intern, Ebb Peckinpaw. He's not a dumb cluck. In fact, some times he has brilliant ideas.

But solving the mystery on Spyglass Hill is not my only big problem. I've got to get a ticket to the First Amendment Foundation program. I sure could use your help. You got any ideas?

Les Desirable: Nude Reporter is a funny and entertaining story for children ages 9 - 12, middle school students, and adults who are still young at heart.
