Lucy B. Parker is running for class president! Sure, Lucy could let her frister (friend + sister), teen superstar Laurel Moses, campaign for her, but Lucy wants to win as Lucy, not as Laurel Moses' less-pretty-less- talented stepsister. To make matters worse, Lucy's feeling totally ignored by her dad and his girlfriend, who are preparing for their new baby. How is Lucy going to manage her famous frister, a soon-to-exist baby, and the campaign of the year all at once?
Robin Palmer grew up in Massachusetts and New Jersey, and after graduating from Boston University, moved to Hollywood. Starting as an assistant in the television literary department of the William Morris Agency, she quickly moved up the ranks and spent the next decade as a literary agent, producer, and television network executive at Lifetime Television, where she developed over one hundred scripts and oversaw the production of many of the network's original movies.
In 2001, she remembered that she had originally intended to spend her life either as a writer or a toll booth collector (so she could indulge her penchant for spending her days alone reading), but as there are no toll roads in southern California, she decided to give the writing thing a try. Since then, she's written everything from "To Do" lists to screenplays to essays to love letters and, of course, novels.
Not quite challenging enough for a book report but amazingly awesome enough to get you tied down to a chair. I can personally connect to the running for president stuff, *wink wink* to those who know me (;
This was the third book in the Lucy B. Parker series. The first two books were just fun relaxed books to me, and so was this one. When Lucy decides to run for president, I was really surprised, because she seems like the person to not do anything that could embarrass her. But I was happy that she decided ( even though her family decided for her) do run. I wish there could have been more about what went on in her campaign. Also, when the author decided to make her campaign be the same day as the day her brother was born, I was kind of mad, because it seemed like the author was just trying to throw it together to wrap up the book. I think anyone who just wants a fun quick read will like these books. Over all I really liked these books.

I read books that my kids are interested in before they read them. I must say that this particular middle school series is refreshing. It is funny, with sweet messages and a bit different than the other books. Each book in this series seems to be better than the the last! It is for ages 12 and up in my opinion, as the author opted to have Lucy reference the parents "doing it" in the book. Obviously at that age kids aren't oblivious to this, it's just something to be aware of. Great series!
Lucy B. Parker is back - and she's running for office! Incensed at what she deems "dork discrimination", Lucy overcomes her qualms and runs for class president, intending to stand up for the little guy. Of course, when it comes to Lucy B. nothing ever goes as planned - stick around for the wild, hilarious ride!

I actually read an edition of this book that had a different cover. This is my favorite book yet in this series because a new character is introduced who I like. She is not afraid to admit that she's a dork.
this book was not the best one out of the series but it was good to know that she is teaching little girls that everyone is the same in there own different ways by running for dork discrimination. robin palmer is a very good author and i love that she writes almost to tweens.
