There’re only six weeks left in the school year and Rosie is excited about her summer vacation! But there’s so much to be done before the last day of school—projects, tests…and Rosie is even thinking of signing up for water polo (yes, seriously, water polo!). Then Ben accidentally signs Rosie up for student council, and she finds herself running for president—against Sharon! Can middle school get any worse?

**Praise:
