<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Fifth-grader Susan "Susie B." Babuszkiewicz finds that running for Student Council is complicated, especially after learning that her hero, Susan B. Anthony, was not as heroic as she thought. Told through a series of letters from Susie to Susan."--Provided by publisher.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b><i>Roll with It</i> meets <i>Absolutely Normal Chaos</i> in this funny, big-hearted novel about a young girl's campaign for student council president, told through letters to her hero Susan B. Anthony.</b> <p/>Susie B. has a lot to say. Like how it's not fair that she has to be called Susie B. instead of plain Susie. Or about how polar bears are endangered. Or how the Usual Geniuses are always getting picked for cool stuff over the kids like her with butterflies in their brain. And it's because Susie B. has a lot to say about these very important things that she's running for student council president! <p/>If she's president, she can advocate for the underdogs just like her hero and fellow Susie B., Susan B. Anthony. (And, okay, maybe the chance to give big speeches to the whole school with a microphone is another perk.) But when the most usual of Usual Geniuses also enters the student council race, Susie realizes this may be a harder won fight than she thought. Even worse, Susie discovers that Susan B. Anthony wasn't as great as history makes it seem, and she did some pretty terrible things to try to help her own cause. Soon, Susie has her own tough decisions to make. But one thing is for sure--no matter what, Susie B. won't back down.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>*"Will join the ranks of other great realistic fiction books like Alesha Dixon's <i>Lightning Girl</i>, and Holly Goldberg Sloan's <i>Counting by 7s</i>.
