About this ebook
Meet the candidates for Winifred T. Langley Middle School sixth-grade president!
Millicent Madding:
A smart, creative, junior inventor extraordinaire, who is dedicated to making the school a better place.
Fiona Dimmet:
A popular, beautiful, fashion-obsessed model, who is dedicated to making the school a better dressed place.
When it comes to the competition for class president, it seems like Millicent is a shoe-in for the position. After all, she's the only one taking the campaign seriously . . . until Fiona finds a way to turn the whole election process upside down by making it one gigantic fashion show! With a platform that promises free makeovers to anyone who votes for her, Fiona is suddenly surrounded by supporters clamoring to be as fashion forward as their new favorite candidate. Has the whole school gone mad? One thing's for sure: If Millicent wants to be president, she'd better whip her plain-Jane look into shape and learn how to wow the school—fashionista style!

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Millicent Madding initially thought she would make a great sixth grade class president when she first decided to run. She had the brains, the creativity, and the leadership – all indicators of a great president for Winifred T. Langley Middle School. Furthermore, nobody else would volunteer, so why not her? Imagine her horror when a new rival arrives – Fiona Dimmet, an elitist model from Pretty Liddy's Junior Fashion Academy. Since the academy is undergoing renovation; Fiona, along with her crew, are only temporary students at Langley Middle School. However, Fiona is bent on crushing Millicent as well as her drab fashion sense. Popular, pretty, superficial, and arrogant Fiona then decides to change the rules of the election: the election would take the form as a modeling competition. In my opinion, the whole story was really pointless. Fiona wasn't a real student at Langley, so it didn't make sense why she would still be allowed to run. The plot was overly dramatized, overdone, and mostly over-the-top, especially with Millicent having two parents who are lost in time travel and as well as an aunt who lost her memory while performing in a circus. What I especially hated was how the people from Pretty Liddy's all had to mutilate the English language, using words such as "superberific", "spectabulous", "beautilicious", and "fabulistic".This is another nerd - vs.- popular kids story, and it was clear what the outcome was going to be like. The characters are really stereotypical. Brainiac Millicent has an intellectual uncle as well as super-intelligent parents; while pretty Fiona is perfect in every way, in terms of clothing, style, and popularity. It was really absurd how all the students just immediately flocked and groveled to the kids from Pretty Liddy's right after they arrived. Even Millicent's friends ignored her after Fiona's overly dramatic, Hollywood-style arrival. They didn't really have to act like mindless zombies, which were exactly what they were compared to in the book. It shocked me even more when even the principal and teachers listened to them. You'd think they'd have the sense not to worship a bunch of kids who put them down because of their clothing. The Model President certainly was an unfabulistic story for me, unfortunately.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Millicent Madding had quite an odd life. Being raised by inventors and circus performers, she had not had any of the experiences “normal” girls had: picking out their own clothes, wearing high heels, and just being a regular sixth grader! But everything would change if she could just become class president.Then the stuck-up students of a fashion school have to temporarily attend Millicent’s middle school, which means the famous Fiona Dimmet is going to be her classmate. And, what’s more, Fiona has decided to run for class president, too! How could she compete with a popular, beautiful, famous model?Author Brian Tacang has a rich imagination but he might have went too far. This book was so unrealistic that I couldn’t even picture what was happening.I have never read anything like it. It was imaginative, creative, but didn’t make any sense. I had to struggle to finish reading it. The characters seem well thought through and match the story perfectly, which made a big difference in my mind of how I thought of the book. Based on the story, though, I would not recommend it to anyone.I didn’t enjoy this book has much as I thought. It just wasn’t for me.
