Sweet Cindy is looking for an outlet to her ability to write well. Her teacher sets her up with a reporter and she learns the basics of writing for the newspaper, even to the expense of her new boyfriend. She is also worried about her hair, which I thought was cute because no matter what people want in life, good hair is almost always a necessity. Great book for older elementary to even those high schoolers who are just wanting to learn about the lifestyle of those from the 70's (which were pretty groovy, by the way).
