Grace Campbell can not believe that there has never been a girl president and decides that she'd like to change that starting by running for president in the school's own election. Grace thinks becoming president will be easy until popular Thomas Cobb enters the race. Grace thinks it will be even less easy after learning about the 270 electoral votes needed to win. Tom calculates his win based on boys holding more votes than the girls and relaxes while Grace makes good on her campaign promises. In early November, the students cast their votes and the best person for the job wins the election. DiPucchio does a fine job explaining the Electoral College to a younger audience and Pham's illustrations bring Grace to life as she bounds from page to page campaigning.
4 of 5 stars - Recommended.
