New Serial: Robyn Reports: The election

Robyn Zimmerman is a young reporter with a big assignment. It's Election Day and she is covering the neighborhood election for her very own newspaper, " The Robyn Report." And, what an assignment it is! From the candidates' debate on the issues to the community referendum about the statue in the local park, to the catastrophe of the missing ballot box, Robyn and her band of young reporters are investigating and writing about each. Along the way they'll learn a great deal about how elections work, political parties, debates, and the importance of informed citizenship and voting.
