When Ash gets kicked off her school's news show, she becomes a
renegade reporter--and makes a big discovery about technology and her
fellow students' privacy.
Ash and her friends are reporters. They were ready to lead their school
news show, The News at Nine, sponsored by Van Ness Media, when an
unfortunate incident involving a dancing teacher, an irresponsibly
reported story, and a viral video got them kicked off the crew. So Ash,
Maya, and Brielle decide to start their own news show, The Underground
News. And soon they stumble on a big lead: Van Ness Media, the
educational company that provides their school's software, has been
gathering data from all the kids at school. Their drawings, their
journals, even their movements are being recorded and cataloged by Van
Ness Media. But why? Ash and her friends are determined to learn the
truth and report it.
