What's This Book About

Publisher Summary

Sona decides to run for class leader! But her friend Joy is running, too. Does Sona really want to lead, or just to win? Chitra Soundar shines a light on democracy in the latest book in this charming series. Sona’s class is excited when Miss Rao announces that there will be an election for class leader. But when Pradeep, who is always boasting, says he would be the best choice, Sona knows she doesn’t want him to win. So Sona stands up and volunteers to be a candidate, too! Strangely, her best friends, Joy and Renu, don’t seem happy about it–in fact, they stop talking to Sona altogether. When it turns out that Joy also wants to run for class leader, Sona doesn’t know what to do. It’s true that Joy has some great ideas for the class, and Sona hasn’t thought much beyond stopping Pradeep from winning, but Sona entered the race first and doesn’t want to drop out. With advice and support from her family, Sona realizes that no one can become a leader on their own. Readers can explore election terms and ideas along with Sona, as well as a glossary of Indian words (like bonda, a delicious South Indian doughnut) at the back.
