Every parent knows that kid. The one who doesn't just take your word for it, who questions the rumors in the schoolyard, and who might even fact-check a group-chat claim before going to sleep.
If you are raising a naturally curious ten- to twelve-year-old, Linda Soules’s new book, So You Want to Be a Journalist, belongs on your radar.
Part of the popular So You Want To Be A series, this guide completely strips away Hollywood headline glamour. Instead, it introduces kids to the real, patient, and essential work of reporting. Soules doesn't water anything down. She covers everything from the journalists' ethics code and FOIA requests to the golden newsroom rule: even if your mother says she loves you, check it out.
Complete with engaging illustrations of busy newsrooms and profiles of legends like Nellie Bly and Gordon Parks, it’s the perfect book to read together. It naturally sparks great family conversations about truth, accountability, and the weight of putting your name on a story.
