7 - vote for larry

this is the sequel to a YA book that i really like called the gospel according to larry. it was a fast little read and very current because, obviously, it is about an election. not just ANY election, but the first election where an 18-year-old runs for president. ( in the book the states ratified an amendment to change the law from 35 to 18.) to be honest, i didn't anticipate that there would be a sequel to tgatl the first time i read it, so, at times, v4l seemed a little bit too contrived. BUT, it totally brings up some really important issues and statistics that teens need to be aware of and somehow none of that 'stuff' turns boring or preachy.
