Callie For President, by Robin Wasserman is about a girl named Callie running for class president against a girl who Callie thinks is stuck up, Brianna Blake. Brianna has ran for president for the past couple of years and no one has run against her, so every single year she won the election because no one had anyone to vote for! Well one day when Callie and her friends Max and Fish were in their social studies class, Max changes the whole election…”I nominate Callie!”shouts Max. Fish agreed with Max, so Callie was running for class president against Brianna Blake.
When Brianna asks Fish to help her make posters for the election, Max and Callie get very offended because Callie was nearly SURE Fish would say no. But, nope, Fish said yes. HELPING BRIANNA BLAKE make posters for the election when CALLIE, his best friend was running against her, not very nice!!! At Callie and Max’s first president meeting, they decide to have a bake sale at the school parking lot. That exact time and day when Callie and Max were holding the baking sale, Brianna Blake comes in with a hit rock star and tries to persuade all the students to vote for her, not Callie.
Who will win the election? Will Callie ever get Fish back on her side? Will Brianna and Callie EVER be at least friends? To find out what happens, read the book, Callie For President, by Robin Wasserman. I highly recommend it to mostly girls ages 8-12. I would rate this book a 7 out of 10, ten being the best. It was a good book, but it could be better.
