    About this audiobook

    Marva Sheridan was born ready for this day. She's always been driven to make a difference in the world, and what better way than to vote in her first election? Duke Crenshaw is so done with this election. He just wants to get voting over with so he can prepare for his band's first paying gig tonight.Only problem? Duke can't vote.When Marva sees Duke turned away from their polling place, she takes it upon herself to make sure his vote is counted. She hasn't spent months doorbelling and registering voters just to see someone denied their right.And that's how their whirlwind day begins, rushing from precinct to precinct, cutting school, waiting in endless lines, turned away time and again, trying to do one simple thing: vote. They may have started out as strangers, but as Duke and Marva team up to beat a rigged system (and find Marva's missing cat), it's clear that there's more to their connection than a shared mission for democracy.

    Editor's Note

    This sweet romance has our vote…

    Marva and Duke, two Black teens attempting to do their civic duty, meet by chance at a polling place where Marva casts her first vote and Duke is turned away due to a registration error. What ensues is an all-day adventure to make sure Duke’s voice is heard, full of heart-to-hearts about injustices and a sweet blossoming romance.

      I don't like the narrator so I won't be continuing this one ? I'm leaving a 5-star rating so as not to ruin the book's general rating ?

      It was an entertaining book but a little slow at first.

      This was so adorable. I wish there more to be honest.
    • 4/5
      This book was SO CUTE from beginning to end and I think any kid on the fence abput voting would benefit from reading it, too. But really, SO CUTE. I love the depth it managed for what is basically a single-day story.
