About The Book: Charles McCheese, the eleven-year-old founder of The Childhood News Network, only has two rules for his reporters: they keep grown-ups out of the news, and they report on Southwest Florida and Southwest Florida only. That was the station’s magic formula until Naveen showed up and brought his mom everywhere. Plus, he’s convinced the other reporters they can cover stories from all around the world when the truth is most of them can’t even find their way home from school.  
Charles is forced to consider shutting down the station while his out-of-control reporters are off chasing conspiracies of their own invention. His team has lost their minds. His second least reliable reporter will never get out of Tokyo, and his least reliable reporter will never survive her voyage on a giant duck across the English Channel. The worst part is everyone still finds time to be mad at Charles. Why can’t they see that this is all Naveen’s fault, and why can't they all stop talking about Taco Tuesday?

Adventures of Blue and Turkey

John Wallace

Come and sit on the log. I have a story to tell you.  
There was a mischievous duck who grew up in the swamps of Louisiana area. This was very special duck. His name was Blue.  
The story goes like this: he turned blue when he swam in the cold pond one morning.  
His home was under the old wooden cabin. Blue loved to waddle over to the barn and listen to the sounds of the farm engines. His mother would often scold him. “You’ll get hurt over there,” she would say. However, the smell of motor oil and the sounds of the noise of the engines would thrill him. He would sit by the hour watching people working on the engines. Blue knew when they made the right decisions to make the engines run better.
