Gr 3–5—In this sixth installment of the popular epistolary series, Ellie's family encourages her to run for class president. She quickly throws herself into the campaign, but soon becomes wary of competing against her friends—and her secret crush. Purchase where McDoodle fans thrive.
Ellie loves her new role as editor of her school's newspaper, but her decision to run for class president unhappily costs her the job. The election causes both good and unsavory social interactions, but issues are resolved with surprising tween maturity. Ellie's doodles adorn every spread, and her new romance will surely be explored in more detail in the next book.
