I just finished reading "The School Story", by Andrew Clements. In this story, the main character Natalie has written a manuscript that she wants to submit to a publishing company where her mother works.  Hannah is looking for the next big book with a school setting, and she needs to find one quickly because her boss, Letha, is putting pressure on her.  Natalie knows, however, that she can not just hand her mother her manuscript "The Cheater" because she would not be taken seriously.  So she and her best friend decide to create their own fake agency and submit her story under a fake name.  Through a series of events, the manuscript ends up on Hannah's desk, and she is told by Letha to read it over the weekend. Natalie goes through the whole weekend worried about what her mother would say, and that she was deceitful because the story did not get to the publishing company honestly.  At the end, we find out that her mother loved the story and that she is going to recommend that it be published!  I would highly recommend the book.  It was well written, and I could relate to the characters and the emotions they were feeling.
