Now fast friends with "dumb old Lizzie from England" and Dodger (a blue chimpanzee genie with a talent for havoc), Willie, predictably reluctant, runs for fifth grade class president. His opponents? "Popular Kid" James and "Scary Tough Kid" Craig, whose gooey centers are dutifully revealed by tale's end. Phrases like "double jeepers" encapsulate the voice of this glib if energetic comedy.
