At Fairport High School, Jana has taken on a special project. She's determined to turn James Orville Wickenbee, her brother's new best friend, into one of the "cool kids." After all, Jana can't afford to have James--a "nobody," not to mention a Mormon--ruin her plans to get her brother elected as student body president. The problem is, Alex doesn't want to be president, and James has no interest in becoming popular. Not to worry--Jana has everything under control. James will just have to be president instead. The makeover might take some extra work, but she's ready for the challenge. She's very convincing. In fact, the entire school begins to see James as "Super-Jim." But the "makeover" creates a surprise that nobody saw coming, especially Jana. [from publisher's web site]
