Sam the Man & The Cell Phone Plan

Sam Graham wants a cell phone to help him with his research, but when his parents say no, he has to come up with another way to keep all the info he needs in his pocket in this hilarious fifth chapter book in the Sam the Man series from Frances O'Roark Dowell.Here are the facts: Sam Graham is an information man. But to get information, you need to do research. You never know when you'll need an urgent piece of info--like, say, the number for a chicken emergency hotline--so a resource for instant research is a must! This is why Sam needs a cell phone. Unfortunately, Mom and Dad disagree. So, Sam has to come up with a plan. But what is small enough to fit in your pocket and can hold all the information you need? Sam will have to go old-school with his latest plan and use a handy notebook instead. Luckily, retro is in, and à la Nick in Andrew Clements's Frindle, Sam might just start the latest trend!
