Nikki and Deja — Karen English

Will Nikki and Deja's plans to become celebrated journalists succeed?

Nikki and Deja know that there's plenty of newsy news -- news that's interesting and exciting -- happening on their block and at Carver Elementary, just waiting to be reported.

Luckily, Nikki has her special pen and notepad, Deja has the use of Auntie Dee's computer, and they both have lots of ideas. Before long, the Fulton Street Newsy News Newsletter is born. At first, everyone wants to read what the girls have written. But after just one issue, some unexpected problems arise.

This accessible chapter book series shines with emotional depth and humor, perfectly capturing the complexities and joys of elementary school girls' friendships.
