Will runs for class president after Chelsea proposes a Reading Buddy programme, despite initially having little interest in school politics.
Steve takes responsibility for managing Will’s campaign, and the campaign then spirals out of control.
The central tension comes from Will’s impulsive choice and Steve’s active campaign role. You may want to notice how the story handles consequences, competing proposals and sibling responsibility.
This is a grounded book brief while Suitabook strengthens the analysis: the current material supports only a cautious reading; another book-specific source is still needed.
