Vote for Suzanne

Katie Kazoo, Switcheroo #29.5

by Nancy E. Krulik, John and Wendy (Illustrator)

Everyone in Cherrydale has election fever! While the adults get ready to vote for town mayor, the fourth graders are holding an election for a fourth grade mayor! Both Katie and Suzanne are nominated, and Suzanne really (really, really!) wants to win. She even tries to sabotage Katie’s campaign! Katie is furious at her ex-best friend, until two hilarious switcheroos teach her that politics is a tricky business—and not worth losing her best friend over.

I read these books to my sister when I was a little kid and she was a toddler, and my newborn brother heard them too. My little sister would call Suzanne Susan, and I remember her saying, “oh that Susan!”

What a throwback. I appreciated how this one had more of a plot than they sometimes do.

This book reminds me of when I was elected 3rd grade class president. I love Nancy Krulik's Switcheroo books because I think the magic wind is creative. I also love her books because of all the descriptions she gives in them. I really feel like I'm there watching.
