In "The Homecoming Queen," Ethel’s quick thinking saves the homecoming king and queen from a near-fatal crash by reminding them to buckle up—only to find herself unexpectedly chosen to take the injured queen’s place. As the school prepares for the big night, Ethel must navigate the sudden spotlight, all while keeping her head down and her heart open.
