Jada Jones is excited that she and her classmate, Miles, have been nominated to run for student council at their school. But now she must figure out a way to run an honest and respectful campaign against her friend and come up with the courage to give a speech in front of the whole fourth grade class. Maybe running for student council isn’t such a great idea after all.
The second in a series, this book brings back the likable character, Jada Jones, as she navigates what it means to be a leader. The author weaves in lessons about honesty, integrity and facing your greatest fears. The characters are likeable and realistic and will appeal to the intended elementary student audience. The large type and uncomplicated vocabulary will help give young readers confidence in their ability to read a chapter book. Overall it is a good choice for an elementary school or classroom library.
