Review Quotes: Praise for the President series: A Children's Indie Next pick
* "Thought-provoking and smart and a great springboard for discussions on race and class." --Kirkus Reviews, starred review "Winston's humorous prose captures the spirited preteen voice of an honors student with sass, quick wit, and great ideas.... A whip-smart, funny, and fast-paced outing equally suited to returning fans and readers who are just meeting Brianna for the first time." --Kirkus Reviews "Brianna's determination and follow-through make her a great role model, but the true value here is the very real depiction of the ebb and flow of middle-school friendships and the difficulties that come with growing up. An important resource for anyone who's ever been in Brianna's shoes." --Booklist "A sweet confection for middle graders...will be a hit with readers who like Wendy Mass and Lauren Myracle." --Booklist
