The book and companion Web site, www.kidnews.com, help kids define, organize and research their thoughts and opinions. Then, using sample stories from other kids at kidnews.com, they can write and publish their articles for the world to read.

The book was created to guide young writers through the steps journalists and other writers take to find things out and share them with readers. The kit includes a 96-page book and a credit card-sized CD-ROM that doubles as a press pass.
