What this book is about:
Twelve year old Judson Moon is running for President of the United States. It’s all a joke to Judson.  But his best friend Lenny is serious and will do whatever he can to make Judson win.  Once Judson collects the two thousand signatures he needs to be on the ballot in Wisconsin, his house is surround by reporters, he is on the news and has letters pouring in from across the country.  Then he is invited to a debate with the two other candidates, President White and Senator Dunn.  Can Judson really get enough votes to become president of the United States?

Why I like this book:
I like this book because it was funny.  I laughed practically every other page!  Judson was always himself and joked around (even in important situations.)  If Judson was serious, I never would have laughed at all.  He was such a great character.  Who knew a kid could run for president?  Overall this was a great book. =)
