(4) 4-6 Fara becomes a local celebrity after accidentally mismatching her socks. She realizes fame could bring attention to issues she cares about, such as the environment. However, as Fara runs for student council she realizes she's popular for her socks, not her ideas. Though the story is message-y, Weissman's colorful cast of characters and sense of humor make for a lively read.
