Reader's digest

Answer:

BOOKREPORT

Hint:

Think of what a student might summarize after finishing a novel—it’s not just a review, but a structured breakdown of the story’s key points.

Explanation:

"Reader's digest" hints at a summary of something read, playing on the name of the magazine Reader’s Digest, which condenses articles. The answer "BOOKREPORT" fits because it’s a common school assignment where students summarize and analyze a book—essentially a "digest" of what they’ve read. The clue cleverly repurposes the magazine’s title to suggest the idea of breaking down a book’s content.
