<p>"I gotta go," I say, feeling numb but terrified.  "I have to get out of here!"  What would James do if he found me?  He's capable of anything.  Murder maybe.  No, that's silly.  Isn't it?  I try to turn and I fumble with the door handle.  Paul tries too until we spill out into the trailer proper.  I can hardly look at him but I force myself.  It looks as if he's been crying.  His eyes are all red.  He sinks down onto one of the benches.  "Are you going to tell?"  he asks.  "I don't know," I find myself answering, and that's the truth.         Ali Green's Mother is running for leadership of Liberal Party, and Ali, a junior delegate, accompanies her to the convention in Calgary.  She wants her mom to win, of course.  But if she does win, then it means they'll have to move to Ottawa - away from Ali's friends and school.  Complicating matters even further is Ali's interest in Paul James, who just happens to be the son of her mom's strongest political rival!  And when the two political rival! And when the two of them overhear what they're not supposed to, Ali's whole world turns completely upside down.  Set against the tumultuous excitement of a political convention, The Race explores politics, loyalty, right and wrong, and where they all fit in one young girl's life.</p>
