(2) 4-6 Sixth grader Zoe dreams of becoming a Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist, but her family's unreliable old computer is cramping her style. She has her sights set on the Horizon WordPro GT laptop, and since her parents won't buy one for her, she takes matters into her own hands. A school fundraiser offers Zoe the perfect opportunity: top prize for selling the most tubs of cookie dough is, in fact, the Horizon WordPro GT. Determined to walk away with the computer and defeat her nemesis, Zoe is laser-focused on winning and will do whatever it takes to come out on top--even if it tests her relationship with her best friend. Zoe's experiences are relatable; her passion for both her short- and long-term goals is believably conveyed. Baptist uses humor to explore themes of navigating family, school, and community; this story will resonate with anyone who has dreamed of winning big.
