The story centers around Joan Martin, a 14-year-old girl who dreams of becoming a reporter, inspired by her family's history in journalism. Throughout the narrative, readers follow her excitement surrounding her brother Tim's new job at the local newspaper, the Plainfield Evening Journal, and the challenges she faces as she aspires to break into the world of reporting herself. At the start of the book, Joan is eagerly awaiting news about her brother's job application to the Journal, where their uncle serves as the general manager. Her passion for journalism is palpable, as is her sense of adventure in wanting to learn about the responsibilities and experiences of being a reporter. As Tim embarks on his new role, Joan is determined to get involved as much as she can, and the opening chapters hint at an unfolding mystery connected to the newspaper—specifically regarding a series of strange mistakes that may affect its reputation. Joan's curiosity, combined with her determination to help her brother, sets the stage for a story that explores themes of family bonds, ambition, and the dynamics of a small-town newsroom.
