In America, they say any kid might someday be elected President. Well, 13-year-old Justin Moon did get elected President. The only problem is that now he has to actually serve in the nation’s highest office. Being the leader of the most powerful country in the world is not as much fun as it sounds. Sure, the White House is filled with great stuff like its own movie theater, bowling alley, and swimming pool. But no one mentioned all the snoopy news reporters, the overly cautious Secret Service agents, or the annoying system of checks and balances that keeps the President from doing anything he wants. In this delightful sequel to The Kid Who Ran for President, award-winning author Dan Gutman once again shows how much fun it can be to learn about history and politics. Scott Shina’s narration tops all opinion polls for fun.

Some kids want to be President when they grow up. Twelve-year-old Judson Moon wants to be President right now! “Grown-ups have had a thousand years to mess up the world,” Judson explains. “Now it’s our turn.” But running for President is hard. You have to kiss a zillion babies and shake a zillion hands, and say a zillion “hellos.” There’s the tough decision about which girl in your school you should ask to be First Babe. Also, selling 80 million cups of lemonade is a slow way to finance a campaign. And there’s an unfair constitutional provision against kids running for President that needs to be changed. Dan Gutman’s entertaining account of Judson’s quest for the White House slyly mixes lessons about U.S. history and government with a story full of unexpected twists.

Afraid of, yet again, looking like a total failure in front of a crowd of people, Whisper has a tough choice to make. Will she try the kick?
