(3) 4-6 In this second book (President of the Whole Sixth Grade), African American tween Brianna is now a budding journalist. When she's assigned a seemingly boring piece about a girls' computer-coding program at an inner-city middle school, suburban-girl Brianna learns complex lessons about race, class, stereotyping, and the negative power of words like ghetto. Brianna's first-person narrative is funny, confiding, and admirably demonstrates the difficult process of grappling with our own prejudices.
