"Lily is a small but sturdy sailboat sharing a harbor with enormous cargo ships, speedy fishing vessels, and bossy tugboats that all have somewhere to go. And something to say—mostly, “Out of my way, Lily!”
But Lily has somewhere to go, too. Out on the lake, the tall ships are coming!
To leave the harbor, Lily has to wait for the lift bridge to rise. When the other ships blow their horns, “OOHHH-pen, OOHHH-pen,” the bridge lifts up for them.
But not for Lily.
When she finally scoots under the bridge, the grand old ships are silently sailing toward the lowered bridge. Silently! How will the bridge know to open? Can Lily save the day?"

"America is the greatest democracy in the world . . . isn't it? Author Elizabeth Rusch examines some of the more problematic aspects of our government but, more importantly, offers ways for young people to fix them.
The political landscape has never been so tumultuous: issues with the electoral college, gerrymandering, voter suppression, and a lack of representation in the polls and in our leadership have led to Americans of all ages asking, How did we get here?
The power to change lies with the citizens of this great country—especially teens! Rather than pointing fingers at people and political parties, You Call This Democracy? looks at flaws in the system—and offers a real way out of the mess we are in. Each chapter breaks down a different problem plaguing American democracy, exploring how it’s undemocratic, offering possible solutions (with examples of real-life teens who have already started working toward them), and suggesting ways to effect change—starting NOW!"
