Hilde on the Record: Memoir of a Kid Crime Reporter

Hilde Lysiak recounts her early work as a young reporter. After learning that her new town had no newspaper, seven-year-old Hilde took up a notepad and began reporting. Her childhood in New York City had already given her a strong interest in journalism. At nine, she broke news of a local murder, an achievement that brought both successes and difficulties. Family photographs appear throughout.
