A classroom election opens a door to civic ideas

After learning that the United States has never had a female president, Grace enters her school’s mock election with ambitions that reach beyond the classroom. The campaign introduces the electoral college and the idea that every vote matters through a child-sized contest, while bringing questions of gender and leadership into view. Grace’s determination to run also connects the story’s civic subject matter with themes of courage, effort, and independent thought.

Book overview

A fresh, fun, and "thought-provoking" New York Times bestseller about the American electoral college and why every vote counts from bestselling and award-winning duo Kelly DiPucchio and LeUyen Pham.

"Where are the girls?"

When Grace's teacher reveals that the United States has never had a female president, Grace decides she wants to be the nation's first and immediately jumpstarts her political career by running in her school's mock election! The race is tougher than she expected: her popular opponent declares that he's the "best man for the job" and seems to have captured the votes of all of the class's boys. But Grace is more determined than ever. Even if she can't be the best man for the job, she can certainly try to be the best person!

This timely story not only gives readers a fun introduction to the American electoral system but also teaches the value of hard work, courage, independent thought -- and offers an inspiring example of how to choose our leaders.
