Book #2 in the Kate the Great series
Kate must balance friendship and competition amidst school chaos.
Fifth grader Kate faces a friendship dilemma as she, Brooke, and Nora compete in a food-drive contest. Feeling left out, Kate navigates the challenges of school, where the American Revolution unit stirs conflict. With her cleverness, doodles, and unexpected guidance from Eleanor Roosevelt, Kate strives to maintain her friendships and win the competition. Can she unite her friends and find her place in the group?
Fifth grader Kate (the Great) is back in business. Specifically the food-drive business, as she, Brooke, and (odd) Nora try to win the Junior Guides competition. But lately their trio has felt imbalanced, with Kate on the outside. It doesn’t help that the American Revolution unit at school is turning everyone against each other. Armed with her smarts, an artillery of doodles, and maybe even some advice from Eleanor Roosevelt, Kate must find a way to keep her friends, old and new. A breezy, enjoyable excursion…A zippy little visit with a likable 10-year-old. -Kirkus Reviews
