Ben Yokoyama and the Cookie War

About this book

Two best friends are pushed to the breaking point when a class election gets out of hand! Rivalry and ridiculousness abound in this delicious, zanily-illustrated adventure for readers who love Wimpy Kid and Dog Man. It's the start of a new school year at Honeycutt Elementary and that means one thing: student council elections! Best friends, Ben and Janet are determined not to let mean girl Amy Lou Bonnerman win for the fourth year in a row, but when they both decide to run against her, they become rivals! At first, it's all funny posters, free candy, and pie-in-the-sky ideas for how to make the school a better place. But before long, the campaign turns sour--with mean rumors, dirty tricks, hurt feelings, and even sabotage! Ben and Janet's legendary friendship is put to the test. To make things right, they must expose a conspiracy, swallow hard truths, and remember what's most important--their friendship. From the husband-and-wife, author-and-illustrator duo that brought you Ben Yokoyama and the Cookie of Doom comes a tale about keeping your friends close--even when they start to look like enemies.
