How I Survived Middle School: Madame President

Madame President       by Nancy Krulik
This is the second of the series. Jenny doesn't know what afterschool activity she should do. But as she stands in the cafeteria, two of her friends run up to her, telling her she just has to sign up for student government! Her former BFF who's last F(that's supposed to stand for forever) didn't quite work the way it was supposed to, queen Pop of the universe, Addie Wilson is running for sixth grade president!!! The Pops (as in popular) are already practically running the school. If Addie becomes class president, the world (at least Joyce Kilmer Middle School world) will go under! Jenny agrees and after checking her favorite website middleschoolsurvival.com, she discovers that she's up for the job! But already the next day, Addie comes to school with chocolate kisses she bribes people with. She humiliates Jenny publicly when she hangs posters of Jenny having fun with her when they were small (conveniently cutting herself out of the pictures of course), mortifying Jenny the minute she walks into school and a picture of her with underwear on her head smiles back at her. Addie is convinced she is better, and she's playing it hard. Will Jenny be able to stop her?
