A wonderful story about politics and rights, based on the classic childhood dilemma of class presidents/representatives at school.

The English Roses are back and this time competing and campaigning for class presidents. A lot is at stake for young Nicole, and she is more than excited for the responsibility! But as the days approach, the competitiveness gets fierce within Grace, who has been chosen to be her campaigning manager. She is taking things too seriously as her main focus ends up becoming beating their opponents instead of trying to boost Nicole's publicity in a competitive yet friendly way.

Touching upon fairness, competition, and rights in a community, a great read that I would recommend to ages 8-13

The book Ready, set, vote is a series book written by Madonna. It is the genre of realistic fiction. It is about a group of girls who call themselves English Roses. In this book they se that their school is worse so they help one of them become the president, while they meet lots of problems they still are best friends. This book made me feel friendly a passionate about what I think is right. The plot is really exciting and believable. I recommend this book to ages from 9-11 and my rating out of 10 is 7

I loved this book because it really showed what friendship is about, it also showed what it takes to run for president. Since I read this book I have no intentions of becoming president.
