Bobby and Holly are 4th graders who have always been best friends but hide their friendship at school because their classmates think boys and girls aren’t supposed to be friends.  When they each start to make other friends and are pitted against one another in a class election, their relationship becomes very strained.  I kind of wonder how realistic the boys-vs-girls rivalry is because I see boys and girls getting along and being friends all the time here at school.  Aside from that, though, this is a REALLY funny book about friendship, embarrassment, and getting older—three very real parts of being a 4th grader.
