Humorous author Robin Palmer doesn’t disappoint in this third book in the “Yours Truly, Lucy B. Parker” series.  “Vote for Me” has Lucy running for class president, pushing to make a name for herself.  (Lucy’s step-sister is a teen superstar, to whom popularity comes easily.)  Lucy’s attempt to be out-going battles her insecurities in a charming sort of way.

The only down-side to the book for young readers is that Lucy’s father’s girlfriend is pregnant.  While this takes away from the wholesomeness of the story, it just adds to the drama (the baby shower falls on the same day as the election.)  Everything is always a struggle for Lucy, which makes her even more enduring.
