Changes for Julie

The story has to do with Julie's decision to run for student body president. In doing that, she has to run against the most popular boy in the school, a boy whose supporters will use whatever dirty tactics they can to stop her from winning.

The story also deals with Julie's friend, Joy, who is deaf. There's a lot of prejudice against Joy, particularly in relation to what she sounds like when she speaks, and she is running with Julie. The chance of Julie being elected seems low, especially if she keeps Joy as a running mate.

Julie has to deal with that issue, plus come up with some way to convince the students that she is the better candidate.

The book has the usual historical section at the end.
