Elizabeth is thrilled to finally be in the second grade. She loves recess, playing with friends, and even tackling her very first homework assignments. But her excitement comes to a crashing halt when her teacher assigns a big poster project about names. Elizabeth realizes her name has a bajillion letters, while her classmate Anna only has four. Even worse, Anna's name starts with the letter A, which means she gets to be first for everything in alphabetical order. Elizabeth firmly believes this system is entirely unfair, and she is determined to do something about it. She decides to launch a full classroom protest to change the rules. Along the way, she makes important discoveries about fairness, speaking her mind, and the proper use of glue. You will love cheering for this fierce, funny second-grader as she learns that using your voice is the best way to stand out and make genuine friends.
