(3) YA Teenage drama queen Lola is back, this time bullying her "shy and retiring" friend, narrator Ella, into running for class president. But popular Carla Santini is running too, and she has some dirty tricks up her sleeve. Familiar plot elements are well handled (such as Ella's decision to stand up for herself), while a subplot about Ella confronting her mother's alcoholism adds unexpected grace notes.
