For fans of Andrew Smith and Frank Portman and the movies Election
and Ferris Bueller's Day Off comes a hilarious and satirical novel
about the highs and (very low) lows of the electoral process, proving
that the popular vote is the one that matters most.
Stacey Wynn was the clear front-runner for Lincoln High student
council president. But then French-Canadian transfer student Julia
Romero entered the race...and put the moves on Stacey's best
friend/campaign adviser, Brian.
Stacey also didn't count on Tony Guo, resident stoner, whose sole focus
is on removing the school's ban of his favorite chocolate milk, becoming
the voice of the little guy, thanks to a freshman political "mastermind"
with a blue Mohawk.
Three candidates, three platforms, and a whirlwind of social media,
gaffes, high school drama, and protests make for a ridiculously
hilarious political circus that just may hold some poignant truth
somewhere in the mix.
