Horn Book (Wed Apr 01 00:00:00 CDT 2015)

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.
