Pippa's mom recently started a new job. Which meant moving to a new house and starting a new school. The good part? Pippa's new house has a bowling alley and a chocolate shop in the basement! The bad part? Her Mom's new job is as the President of the United States-so she's never around anymore. Especially not when spotlight-shunning, crystal-collecting Pippa needs her the most as she starts her new school where all she wants to do is fit in. But that's not easy, thanks to an annoying classmate who won't stop reminding everyone who Pippa's mom is. (As if anyone could ever forget! It's not like anyone else is followed around by a Secret Service agent.) However, Pippa's best-laid plans at blending in really begin to crumble when her teacher assigns class speeches. Then, while an emergency trip takes Pippa's mom halfway around the world, Pippa becomes the topic of discussion at school, causing her to literally become sick to her stomach as her anxieties spiral.Now, Pippa must learn to calm her fears and embrace the power of speaking up--before she not only flops the assignment but also buries her true feelings from everyone closest to her, including the President herself.Pippa Speaks Up! is the heartwarming and empowering first installment of the Pippa Potter, President's Daughter series, which weaves proven therapy techniques directly into the story as readers are transported to the fascinating world of life inside the White House.
