Taking the Lead (Alec London Series)
Taking the LeadAlec London Series #5By Stephanie  Perry MooreWhen Tyrod announced he was running against me for class  president, I knew it was on. I was done letting that bully get to me. Instead  of fighting him, I decided to speak from my heart and let the class pick their leader.  Now that the elections are done, it's time for me to figure out what Grandma  means when she says it's important to lead God's way.I think watching  my dad might help. A lot of people are very happy with the way he is leading  our school. But it's not easy. He and Mom have been fussing a lot  lately. I'm not going to worry, though. Grandma says their marriage is in God's  hands and He will help them work it out.Coach Moore has been teaching  me that good leaders care about everything they do - even if it means doing what  is best instead of doing what makes you popular. This year God has been helping  me really care and do what is best. And that is leading to a great finish for  the school year.  -AlecSTEPHANIE PERRY MOORE is the author of  several Christian fiction series targeting youth and young adult, including the  Payton Skky, Laurel Shadrach, Carmen Brown, Yasmin Peace, and the Morgan Love series.
