Vote 4 Amelia

September 1, 2007
Gr 4-7-Middle-schooler Amelia is running for student-body secretary while her friend Carly runs for president. The campaign is fierce and includes a bathrobe-wearing boy with a big idea to delay the school start time and another who hands out free candy for votes. The race turns ugly near the end, with half-truths and rumors affecting the final outcome. Amelia learns a lesson about how elections are unfortunately sometimes won and lost. Like the others in the series, this notebook is laced with entertaining commentary and clever cartoon illustrations. It's another winner in an already popular series and includes an important moral about modern life."Kathleen Meulen, Blakely Elementary School, Bainbridge Island, WA"
