This chapter book is about a boy Julio who wants to run for president but doesn't think that he can win to his opponent. Without even realizing it, Julio starts doing all these good deeds for his classmates and his school which results in him winning the election. I would use this book to show that you can win by doing good deeds. I could also tie it in with a unit of social studies when studying politics and elections.
