But when the mayor tries to shut down the rickety bookstand, Yasmin has to take her nose out of her book and do something.</p> <p>What can she do? The local elections are coming up, but she's just a kid. She can't even vote!</p> <p>Still, Yasmin has friends -- her best friend, Reeni, and Anil, who even has a blue belt in karate. And she has family and neighbors. What's more, she has an idea that came right out of the last book she borrowed from Book Uncle.</p> <p>So Yasmin and her friends get to work. Ideas grow like cracks in the sidewalk, and soon the whole effort is breezing along nicely.</p> <p>Or is it? Maybe it's spinning right out of control.</p> <p>An energetic, funny and quirky story about community activism, friendship, and the love of books.</p>
