Reward Yourself

Brianna "Bree" Justice has one goal: To get there, she is following Miss Delicious' recipe. Bree had it in the bag until new kid Jasmine Moon decided to give her a little competition.

When Jasmine's campaign starts to impact her friendships, Bree decides to change her tactics. Will she stick to the recipe or put her presidency and cooking empire at risk? This novel is fantastic. Their personalities complement each other as well as clashes, like all real-life friendships or rivalries, and the novel showcases the importance of relationships, even for fifth graders.

Readers will feel the emotions Brianna feels as she experiences pride, guilt, envy, and humility. They will understand Brianna completely. Winston even manages to break down the importance of philanthropy, introducing this topic to readers likely for the first time.

I thought the jealousy and competition could have been conveyed without taking it to the level of "mean girls. Will Brianna be able to stick to her plan of working with her friends to win the election fairly? Or will she jump at the opportunity to steal votes from Jasmine by revealing an embarrassing secret? This hilarious, heartfelt novel will appeal to any reader with big dreams, and the determination to achieve them.

A story about friendship, family, and finding your voice by the author of President of the Whole Sixth Grade For ten-year-old Cadence Jolly, birthdays are a constant reminder of all that has changed since her mother skipped town with dreams of becoming a singing star.

And she prayed that she'd get the courage to do it. As her eleventh birthday draws near, she realizes time is running out.
