The Elite Seat

The Elite Seat Synopsis

Book 3 in the Elita Brown series.

Spring arrives in Pennsylvania and Elita Brown suddenly finds herself seated at the table of popularity. She wins a leadership award that also wins the admiration and attention of others-including the new popular boy in school. But when her best friend posts a video about Elita that goes viral, Elita realizes not every table fits her personality-or God's plan for her. Torn between joining the world of popularity or the world of hummingbird nests and fox dens, Elita pulls away from the Nature Club she loves. But negative comments about her appearance and the pressures of feeling famous leave Elita questioning her choices.

Elita must decide what matters most of all. How will she get back to the table where she belongs? Can she ever forgive or reconcile with her friend? Will the friend she's been ignoring all spring accept her apology? With the help of trusted people in her life, Elita learns to look at her seat from the perspective of God's riches in mercy and kindness.

Readers of The Elite Seat discover how to persevere amidst the unique temptations of middle school popularity and the problem of self-consciousness; they learn God's plan to live a life of forgiveness, authenticity, and service to others-even when 7th grade survival feels beyond possible.
