Nellie Murrow — the daughter of two (former) newspaper reporters — was named after one of the fiercest journalists who ever lived. When she moves to sleepy Bear Creek, Maine, rumors of vandalism and attacks at the only park in town are keeping her saddled to the house.
Some townspeople say the attacks are gang recruitments. Others blame a vagrant spotted on the hiking trails around town. But when Nellie thinks like a reporter, none of those explanations make sense. Something is happening at the park, but what? All of the fake online news and rumors are clouding the truth.
Nellie wants to break the story — and break free from the front yard — but she can’t do it alone. She needs a whole club if she’s going to start the Cub Report, the town’s first independent newspaper. Creating a newspaper from scratch is going to be tough; but for Nellie, making friends is even harder.

"In this heartwarming series kick-off, Vrabel . . . offers journalistic hints while shining a light on the plight of the newspaper industry, and prickly Nellie's grudging willingness to embrace others over the course of the story is earnestly portrayed."Publishers Weekly
-
"This refreshingly poignant story deftly weaves topics such as grieving, making friends, and moving with highly relevant discussions about bias and opinion in journalism. It is inspiring and informative for young people who are interested in the craft of news reporting, without being overly technical.... A captivating and touching story that addresses issues in news media and life effortlessly, while engaging readers with a fast-paced mystery."School Library Journal
-
"Beth Vrabel's The Newspaper Club is a mystery and a friendship story rolled into one; at its climax, both combine for a conclusion that's remarkably profound. It's also an affectionate account of the newspaper business, complete with a glossary of newspaper terms for budding cub reporters."BookPage
