I just read a great book called The English Roses: Ready, Set, Vote! by Madonna. I really like this book because it is a good book for girls to read and shows how to stand up for yourself. First, girls can really relate to the situations that happen throughout the book. Nicole, one of the main characters, she wants to run for class president. Her friend Grace, another one of the main characters, is Nicole’s campaign manager, but takes it too far by treating it like one of her football matches, intent only on winning. Second, this book really showed me how to stand up for myself. For example, the school bully was also running for class president and Nicole and Grace worked together to stand up to her and finally become class president. In the end, a lot of people voted for her because she stood up for herself by being intelligent, having enthusiasm, and not being a bully. Obviously, a lot of girls would love to read this book and would be really inspired by it.
