Bookroo's summary

In Class 4-0, Jessie Treski, aspiring reporter, is on a mission to uncover the truth behind mysterious candy hearts. Her brother Evan, however, believes in keeping secrets, especially his poetry. As the siblings clash over privacy and scandal, the stakes rise in their quest for answers. Will Jessie expose the class crushes, or will Evan's secrets remain safe? Dive into this engaging tale of family, friendship, and the challenges of growing up.

From the publisher

Jessie and Evan Treski have waged a lemonade war, sought justice in a class trial, and even unmasked a bell thief. Now they are at opposite ends over the right to keep secrets. Evan believes some things (such as his poetry) are private. Jessie believes scandal makes good news. When anonymously sent candy hearts appear in Class 4-0, self-appointed ace reporter Jessie determines to get the scoop on class crushes.
