ABOUT THE BOOK
Tracy Flick is back and, once again, the iconic protagonist of Tom Perrotta’s "Election"—and Reese Witherspoon’s character from the classic movie adaptation—is determined to take high school politics by storm, this time as candidate for principal.
"Told with Perrotta’s piercing wit, wisdom, and exquisite insight into human folly, Tracy’s second act delivers acerbic insight about frustrated ambition."—Esquire
