In this third book in the adventure series, little Charlotte becomes the mayor of New York City - and everything gets better! With her leadership, the subways are perfect, the sirens are quiet, there is plenty of pizza, and artists make a fortune. Is she dreaming? "Charlotte is the perfect young hero for what is happening in our time. She has a wonderful imagination that she uses to enjoy herself and to create ways to help others. She wants to be the Mayor to make New York more beautiful, more efficient, and a place where one can make his or her fortune. In Charlotte's New York, even the Mayor can make time to sing." -Greg Maro, entertainer. "This charming book of the Mayor of New York City, with a small, light-hearted girl as her Honor, shifts my and readers' perceptions of the possible into the practical let-do-this (and soon) attitude. True, most NYC mayoral candidates cannot fly with the Statue of Liberty as chief support and advisor -- would that they could. "Charlotte flits into all the major Manhattan popular spots from the High Line to the Grand Central subway. The delightful artwork adds a delicate touch of whimsy."The plot becomes a beloved souvenir to take back home and dream of doing. And the moral of what I wish wasn't just a fairy tale, is that girls can do anything, and will, relying on the spirit of our favorite mentor, the Statue of Liberty. The author holds high the flaming torch and passes it on. Just in time, seemingly." -Garnette Arledge, author of Blessings, Hilda, Wise Secrets of Aloha, On Angel's Eve, and Night of the Mothers.

“Remarkable.”—New York Times Book Review From Annie Barrows, the acclaimed #1 New York Times–bestselling coauthor of The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society and the author of the award-winning and bestselling Ivy + Bean books, this teen debut tells the story of Charlotte and Frankie, two high school students and best friends who don’t have magical powers, fight aliens, crash their cars, get pierced, or discover they are royal. They just go to school. And live at home. With their parents. A great read for fans of Becky Albertalli, Louise Rennison, and Adi Alsaid. Nothing ever happens to Charlotte and Frankie. Their lives are nothing like the lives of the girls they read about in their YA novels. They don’t have flowing red hair, and hot romantic encounters never happen—let alone meeting a true soul mate. They just go to high school and live at home with their parents, who are pretty normal, all things considered. But when Charlotte decides to write down everything that happens during their sophomore year—to prove that nothing happens and there is no plot or character development in real life—she’s surprised to find that being fifteen isn’t as boring as she thought. It’s weird, heartbreaking, silly, and complicated. And maybe, just perfect.
