From the Publisher:

Cassandra (Cassie) Stephens is thirteen, a "mousy-brown" in a family of blonds and redheads, a totem pole among shapelies, a nonentity in a world of achievers. On top of that, she's got asthma.

World War III is waged daily in her home, beginning at the breakfast table and ending with slammed doors at night. "Operation Overthrow" is under way at school, with Cassie running for freshperson class president. Pressures mount from all sides until Cassie, the first "teenage bomb in captivity," thinks she just might explode. But it isn't Cassie who explodes--it's her family.

To find out who wins the election at school and what happens to Cassie's family at home, tune in to this book!
