When she posts a scathing editorial about her burned-out teacher on the bulletin board one afternoon, everything changes.

Soon \u003ci\u003eThe Landry News\u003c\/i\u003e gets more attention than either Cara or her teacher bargained for, as the principal uses the paper to try to get Mr. Larson fired.
