Bookroo's summary

At Honeycutt Elementary, best friends Ben and Janet face off in a heated student council election. Determined to dethrone reigning champion Amy Lou, their friendly rivalry spirals into a battle of rumors and sabotage. As their legendary friendship teeters on the brink, they must uncover a conspiracy and confront harsh truths. Can they salvage their bond before it's too late? Dive into this zany adventure where friendship is tested and nothing is as it seems.

From the publisher

Two best friends are pushed to the breaking point when a class election gets out of hand! Rivalry and ridiculousness abound in this delicious, zanily-illustrated adventure for readers who love Wimpy Kid and Dog Man. It’s the start of a new school year at Honeycutt Elementary and that means one thing: student council elections! Best friends, Ben and Janet are determined not to let mean girl Amy Lou Bonnerman win for the fourth year in a row, but when they both decide to run against her, they become rivals! At first, it’s all funny posters, free candy, and pie-in-the-sky ideas for how to make the school a better place. But before long, the campaign turns sour–with mean rumors, dirty tricks, hurt feelings, and even sabotage! Ben and Janet’s legendary friendship is put to the test. To make things right, they must expose a conspiracy, swallow hard truths, and remember what’s most important–their friendship. From the husband-and-wife, author-and-illustrator duo that brought you Ben Yokoyama and the Cookie of Doom comes a tale about keeping your friends close–even when they start to look like enemies.
