What Parents Need to Know
About The School Story
Parents need to know that this book will likely prompt fruitful family discussions and inspire young authors to reach for their dreams. True, the main characters engage in a bit of dishonesty, but it's all done in the name of good, clean fun. While the majority of the action is lighthearted, the story does touch upon the subject of death because one of the main characters lost her father when she was younger.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the realities of the publishing process and whether a pair of 12-year-olds could ever actually work together to get a book optioned by a major publisher. How do Natalie and Zoe's differences complement one another to make them best friends -- and the perfect team? Now that Natalie has worked with her mother as an editor, do you think it will affect the way she sees her as a person? Do you think that will help or hurt their relationship as mother and daughter?
