About this ebook

The tenth book in a delicious series by New York Times bestselling author Sheryl Berk and her cupcake-obsessed daughter, Carrie.

When Delaney's parents pressure her to quit PLC, things start to get sticky. Can the PLC manage to stay together?

When Delaney discovers there's been a cut to the art budget, she decides it's time to make a change! The race for class president is quickly approaching, and Delaney's going to run. Her besties in Peace, Love, and Cupcakes are ready to help however they can. But when Delaney's demands start infringing on PLC's ability to get out their orders—and the girls' friendships—things start to get out of hand. The girls aren't sure Delaney really knows what it takes to become president…or whether she's running for the right reasons.

As the election approaches, will it be Delaney for president? Or will her campaign—and the PLC—crash and burn?

    To Papa Alan Berk: You always have our vote for best grandpa.

    What do you suppose ancient Rome would have looked like? Mr. Gatlin asked the students in his fifth-grade history class at Weber Day School. Put yourself right smack in the middle of 44 BC.

    Delaney Noonan closed her eyes and tried to picture it. She saw lots of old buildings, fountains, courtyards, columns, and men walking around in white togas. Then her mind wandered off somewhere far, far away to a vision of a very modern Italy. She suddenly saw pizza, pasta, and Italian gelato—and those ooey, gooey mozzarella sticks she loved dipped in marinara sauce!

    Delaney? The sound of Mr. G’s voice made her eyes fly open. She was pretty sure he had heard her stomach growl.

    Sorry! she replied, shaking off the daydream. I spaced out there for a sec. I was thinking Roma Pizzeria—not ancient Rome. I could almost taste it! She wiped a little drool out of the corner of her mouth.

    You haven’t painted a single backdrop for the play, her teacher said, pointing to the blank roll of paper in front of her. "How is our class supposed to put on Julius Caesar with no Roman scenery?"

    Delaney stared down at her paints and brush. Well, how am I supposed to paint ancient Rome’s aqueducts with no white paint? she protested. The only colors left are red and yellow—or orange if I mix them together.

    You could paint gladiator blood, Ryan, a boy in her class, suggested.

    Eww! shrieked Sophie Spivac, Delaney’s BFF at Weber. That’s disgusting.

    No, Ryan has a point, their teacher said. Ancient Roman times were tough and filled with battles and bloodshed.

    Delaney shrugged. That still doesn’t solve the problem of no more white paint, she insisted. She dramatically draped a hand over her brow. I can’t be expected to work under these conditions. It’s so, so…amateur!

    I’m sorry you feel that way, Mr. G said. I thought you’d dive into the role of Caesar and be excited to help out with the sets.

    I am, she said halfheartedly. I’m happy I got the lead in the play—but I’m afraid it’s going to be awful. Mr. G frowned—he’d been working on the play with the class for weeks. But even he had to admit it was off to an awful start: there were no art supplies to create authentic sets, and the costumes were ridiculous.

    How am I supposed to play a Roman emperor in this? she asked her teacher. She held up a green polka-dot bedsheet that someone had donated. You call this a toga?

    She pointed across the room at her friend Sophie, who was busy stitching her costume together. And have you seen what Brutus’s toga looks like? A sheet with pink kitties on it?

    Sophie nodded. Brutus stabbed Caesar. He’s not really the pink-kitty type.

    Mr. G sighed. I hear you, but there is nothing I can do about it. We have to make do. There’s no more money in the school budget.

    Says who? Delaney challenged him.

    Says the student council who decides where to allocate school funds, Mr. G explained. This year, money went to the after-school soccer program…and the new computer lab…and the new flag hanging from the pole in the yard.

    But it’s just not fair! Delaney insisted. "Something
