Read this one for Kevin's misguided self-confidence, and for the awesome turns of phrase. When Kevin's sister expresses surprise that he's running, we have this interchange (page 54):"You? Was there a fatal accident in the chem labs and all the other students melted in a puddle of goo?" "Yes, it was yellow and gelatinous and now we can't use the second floor and the few survivors have superpower abilities but are barren and albino."
So, so funny. Even the most reluctant reader will enjoy seeing Kevin's campaign unfold. This is a short book, and the fourth in the series. I can't wait to see what Kevin's next adventures are!
