Fourteen-year-old Molly McKinney sees problems in her small town like wasteful spending and pollution, but nobody seems to be doing anything about it because the current mayor and his cronies are just too powerful. Using a loophole in the town’s charter, Molly takes on the challenge of running against him, not fully realizing all the difficulties she’s going to encounter, but determined to see it through to the end. With the help of loyal friends, she pursues her dreams of changing the world for the better.
