Total Knockout: Tale of an Ex-Class President
by
Taylor Morris (Goodreads Author)
There's nothing ordinary about Lucia Latham - she gets straight A's, she's been middle school Class President for two years running and she's a great boxer - nothing is more fun than a good old sparring match with best friend Cooper, especially since she usually wins.
