In her third adventure, Lucy is running for class president--on the platform of ending "dork discrimination"--while waiting to become a big-stepsister. As always, she wins out against the haters. Lucy's voice continues to be unconvincingly--and unevenly--too old and too young for a twelve-year-old. Nevertheless, the book may still appeal to those who have enjoyed the series' Hannah Montana–like stepsister dynamic.
