Summary

"A toxic secret threatens the town of Twin Oaks, and it's going to take a budding journalist to uncover the truth. Ruth Keller is brash and precocious; she argues with her dentist, her parents, her teachers -- everyone. When she discovers a strange black slime in the lake in her suburban neighborhood, she can tell something is very wrong. She decides to investigate. Her findings take her all the way to the towns high-end country club. But as her story goes viral, Ruth discovers how difficult it is to take a stand for what's right in the face of critique and controversy, mean girls and skeptical adults. From writer Kate Reed Petty and illustrator Andrea Bell, comes a story about corruption, pollution, freedom of the press, and a young journalist at the center of it all."--, Inside front flap
