Cara Landry has moved to a new school. Her teacher has seemed to have given up on teaching and life in general. While he buries his face behind a newspaper, the students are left to their own devices. In this atmosphere, Cara creates her own newspaper. Her editorial piece awakes her teacher from his stupor and in the end, helps the class understand the freedom of speech.
*Highly recommend.
