by Andrea Beaty Narrated by Marisa Blake

Overview

Miss Lila Greer announces it's time for Grade Two to get a class pet, and she wants the kids to participate in choosing which one. After all, they will all have to share the responsibility of caring for it. The class narrows it down to two options: Team Turtle and Team Bird. Sofia is named Election Commissioner, in charge of overseeing a fair and honest election between the two teams. There's a class-wide campaign, complete with posters, articles, and speeches. Then it's time for the election! But when the votes are counted, there's a tie, and one vote is missing. How will the class break the tie? And what happened to the vanishing vote? It's up to Sofia Valdez and the Questioneers to restore democracy!

OCTOBER 2020 - AudioFile

Narrator Marisa Blake's sweet voice will charm listeners as this next installment of the Questioneers series arrives right on time for the 2020 presidential election. Second-grader Sofia Valdez is named election commissioner when her classmates decide to conduct an election to choose their class pet. Blake's thoughtful tones express Sofia's determination to continually do what is right—even when friends try to influence her and when a vote mysteriously vanishes. Child-friendly topics and easily understood concepts, coupled with Blake's well-paced narration, make this story ideal for any young listener with questions about elections and democracy. Informative tidbits about the Delano Grape Strike, the presidential election process, freedom of the press and journalism, and the importance of voting are a bonus.
