(4) 4-6 Middle schooler Max, a frequent target of his brutish teacher's scorn, finds himself running for class president against his nemesis, Abby, and teacher's pet Layla. While campaigning, Max accidentally discovers humor's power to distract his classmates from his nonexistent platform. Though mainly comprised of two-dimensional characters, this slapstick-filled story may appeal to Wimpy Kid fans thanks to its ample black-and-white cartoon illustrations.
