HarperCollins Children's Books has announced that Emmy Award-winning producer and journalist Linda Ellerbee will write a series of middle-grade books called Get Real. The first two titles in the series will be published in fall 1999.
Featuring two 11-year-old girls who revive their defunct school newspaper and, in the process, learn to overcome their personal differences, the series will consist of six books altogether. Following the series' launch, new books will be published at a rate of one book every two months.

Ellerbee's previous work in the children's field includes her role as producer and host of Nick News on Nickelodeon. Her production company, Lucky Duck Productions, also produces television specials for network, cable and public stations.
