Cub by Cynthia L. Copeland Paperback Book

Breaking News! Junior high is a jungle! Evie, Leah, and Tammy—the Predators—rule the seventh-grade hallway at Litchfield Junior High. Studios (and slightly dorky) Cindy and her friends are the Preds. Cindy's defense is to "play dead," pretending to be boring so the mean kids lose interest and leave her alone. Then every spring, changes when Cindy gets an internship as a cub reporter for the local female journalist. Suddenly, she's chasing down breaking news with a bold young female journalist.
