  ## Critical reception
  
  Bethanne Patrick in her Washington Post review said "It’s all very silly until someone gets hurt — and someone does. However, what ensues has a touch of real wisdom in its slapstick hand that will satisfy Kinsella die-hards as well as new readers."
  
  ## Plot
  
  The story centers on Lola's best friend, Ella. School elections for student body president are being held at Dellwood High. Lola wants to run against Carla Santini but can't because she hasn't been class representative for one term. So instead Lola enters Ella and Sam to be candidates and run against Carla.
