Allie, First at Last: A Wish Novel

by Angela Cervantes

Born into a family of over-achievers, fifth-grader Allie Velasco has never finished first in anything, and lately things have been going badly: her science project is ruined by a well-meaning student, her former best friend is hanging out with another girl--but now she is determined to win the Trailblazer contest with a photographic presentation about her great grandfather, the first Congressional Medal of Honor winner from their town.

Cute story, and a quick read for me. I would probably recommend to girls in upper elementary/lower middle. There was maybe a love thing going on with the female and male lead - I'm not sure if that's really what was going on, or if it's because I'm not the intended audience.
