Synopsis

A big event has Isabella ready to leave home at the crack of dawn. But that's a motion her parents aren't likely to pass.

If her house is going to work like a democracy, Isabella knows what she has to do; call an assembly and campaign her way out the door!

And if Isabella can get her parents out the door, she might just witness the first woman voted into the highest position of all...
