From the publisher

The Poplar Kids are taking over their middle school in this uproariously funny sequel to Payback on Poplar Lane, which NYT bestselling author Chris Grabenstein called “the funniest book I’ve read in years.” Clover O’Reilly is super psyched to run for class president. As the second oldest of five sisters, she struggles to be heard in her ginormous family. But when you are president of the seventh grade, everyone has listen to you! Comedy magician Mike the Unusual feels confident onstage. Offstage, life can be tricky. It’s okay that his classmates don’t understand him, but it bugs him when his dad suggests he needs more friends. Is he willing to give up his passion to win friends . . . and votes? Clover and Mike compete to rule their school in this sequel to Payback on Poplar Lane that’s filled with scheming advisers, political gaffes, missteps that lead to big laughs… and campaign sabotage!
