    [synopsis] => With the hilarious adventures of Bobby Ellis-Chan, Lisa Yee and Caldecott Medalist Dan Santat bring their gifts for finding the funny (and the truth) in everyday situations to chapter-book readers.
	All of Bobby Ellis-Chan's problems in life can be summed up in one word: GIRLS.There's his sister Casey, who has a weird obsession with Bobby's goldfish, Rover.There's Jillian Zarr, who gets mad every time a boy even looks at her.Most of all, there's Holly Harper, Bobby's ex-best friend. Who is now, for some reason, Jillian's best friend. She used to like frogs and rolling down the hill; now she wears dresses and straightens her hair. Holly's running against Bobby for Student Council representative. She knows all his secrets -- and she just might spill.It's Bobby vs. Holly, boys vs. girls, in the biggest battle ever to rock Rancho Rosetta!            Praise for Bobby vs. Girls (Accidentally)"Those clamoring for fiction with nonwhite or biracial characters in which race is not the focus will welcome nine-year-old Bobby Ellis-Chan.... While Yee remains loyal to the boy point of view for a large portion of the story, both boys and girls will find much to relate to here." -- Horn Book, starred review"Yee really understands children's thought processes and presents them with tact and good humor. Bobby's dilemmas and adventures, however wild and out of control, remain totally believable. Santat's drawings manage the fine line between cartoon and realism and add dimension to the events. Readers will recognize themselves and learn some gentle lessons about relationships while they are laughing at the antics." -- Kirkus Reviews"Using humor and relatable situations, Yee shows how the two friends manage to support each other, despite peer pressure.... Santat's expressive black-and-white illustrations evoke the energy of Saturday morning cartoons.... The bright prose, concise chapters and gratifying resolutions are likely to please even reluctant readers." -- Publishers Weekly"Funny and smart dialogue describes perfectly the interaction that makes the battle of the sexes ring true.... Kids will identify with much of this interplay since Yee's situations and clever text are so accurate." -- School Library Journal       Lisa Yee's novels include Millicent Min, Girl Genius; Stanford Wong Flunks Big-Time (an ALA Notable Book); the Bobby chapter book series, and most recently, Warp Speed. She is also the author of the American Girl books, Good Luck, Ivy, Aloha Kanani and Good Job, Kanani. Please visit her website at www.lisayee.com.

GIRLS (ACCIDENTALLY):They decided to hop all the way to Chess's house in hopes of breaking the world record for hopping. But their attempt came to a quick end when they ran into Jillian Zarr and Holly hogging the sidewalk. "Move," Chess said."You move," Jillian Zarr shot back. "We were here first.""We're breaking a world record," Bobby said as he hopped up and down. It was getting tiring and they hadn't even gone one block."Really?" said Holly. She looked intrigued. "Are you going to move or not?" Chess asked. He was out of breath."Or not," Jillian Zarr said. "Holly and I aren't budging, are we, Holly?""I guess not," she said, sounding uncertain.Bobby's backpack was starting to get heavy. "Come on, Holly, move or else." "Or else what?" Holly asked.
