What this book is about:
What happens when Casper Bengue buys a fake mustache?  Not just any fake mustache but the Heidelberg Handlebar Number Seven, at a cost of $139.99.  Now Casper uses his new disguise to rob banks and then uses the money to buy the Heidelberg Novelty Company. Casper takes on the new nickname Fako Mustacho.  When Casper decides to run for president of the U.S.A., it’s up to Lenny Flem Jr. to save the United States Presidential Election.  Don’t forget about Jodie O’Rodeo, the only other person that didn’t fall for Casper’s genius plot.  Can she and Lenny save the U.S.A?

Why I like it:
 I liked this book because of how funny and absurd it was.  Since when was a 7th grader supposed to be a mad genius criminal mastermind?  Also, why did everybody but two kids fall for a totally obvious plot?  Who knew that all this could happen because of a short man about town suit and a fake mustache!
