By Laurie Madison and Bud Wallace, Grade 6
1.Be suspicious of student journalists. And maybe janitors, too.
2.Make friends with your ancient school librarian. If her blue hair freaks you out, get over it.
3.Be prepared to sing like an angel or, at the very least, like a pirate.
4.Never underestimate the usefulness of furry rodents (especially flesh-eating ones).
5.Avoid the English wing. Seriously. You don't want to go there.
