![]() I've come to the conclusion that the standard fifth grade conflict trope includes jealousy, poor behavior, major mistakes made, loss of friends, and winning said friends back. It has made Brianna very responsible about her money and goals for that savings. ![]() I LOVE this part and wish I had had that experience as a child. The great part about this book is that it doesn't stop at just the election, but also includes lessons to further Brianna along in her plans of becoming a cupcake baker.Īunt Tina helps Brianna and her 3 best friends to set up savings accounts AND assists them in making regular deposits from saving their allowance. That is the focus of the book.the first step in her plan. Her classmates are varied as well.īrianna lives in a suburb of Detroit and her life plan includes winning the fifth grade election. It's only her hair that is ever really mentioned and that her dad owns the Pistons. Jasmine, with her extra crinkly hair, could be caucasian or a person of color or multiracial. A diverse set of characters, involved parents, lessons learned, history, catchy chapter titles, presidential trivia, and recipes! What's not to like?īrianna is African American, her friends are a varied bunch. ![]() ![]() Xyra President of the Whole Fifth Grade by Sherri Winston ![]()
