Ben Yokoyama and the Cookie War

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 Amy Lou Bonnerman become 4th grade class president, subjecting the whole school to a pony-themed carnival. But when they both decide to run against her, they become rivals!

At first it's all funny posters, free gum, and pie-in-the-sky ideas for how to make the school a better place. But before long, the campaign goes negative—with mean rumors and put-downs and even sabotage at play. Will this lifelong friendship survive the first week of fourth grade?

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.
