* GirlsVsBoysPlot: In the Big Chapter Book ''and the Female Fullback'', the B-plot involves Brother Bear running against Queenie [=McBear=] for school president. Queenie decides to turn the whole thing into a boys vs. girls fight by using the upheaval from Bertha Broom trying out for the boys football team in her campaign, expecting to win because all the girls (and ''one'' boy, her on-again off-again boyfriend Too-Tall) will vote for her as a result, while all the other boys vote for Brother (which would have made Queenie the winner by one vote). It doesn't quite work out like she planned, ending in a tie when one of the girls -- Bertha Broom, the titular female fullback -- doesn't care about women's issues and votes for Brother instead. Queenie still wins, but only because Brother concedes after admitting he has too many responsibilities anyway.
