Synopsis: Key Selling Points When Izzy Wong finds out the girls' bathroom was purposely flooded, she knows she's found the perfect subject for her podcast. But her drive to find the culprit and get listeners overtakes her journalistic ethics...and puts her podcast (and investigation) in jeopardy. Izzy Wong's Nose for News shows a middle grader learning about ethical journalism from firsthand experience and making missteps along the way; it's a great springboard for readers to think about the difference between news and gossip or truth and supposition. Shows how smarts and persistence really do pay off, but also how empathy is key to making the right choices. Podcasts are incredibly popular and readers will get some of the inside scoop on how to make one, down to Izzy's choice of audio recorder. Marty Chan is a prolific and award-winning author and playwright, whose books include Cosplay Crime, Final Cut, Willpower, Dragon on the Loose and the Ehrich Weisz Chronicles. He frequently tours and presents to schools.
