The Kid Who Ran For President is a great book. It is about a boy, Judson Moon, who decides to run for President as a joke, but he soon realizes that he can actually win! His best friend, Lane, is his campaign manager. Lane is the smartest kid in their grade. Congress takes a vote and a new amendment is added to the Constitution that says you can be any age to run for President. In one of his debates Judson gives wrong answers thinking if he does not do well in the debate, people won’t vote for him; but that backfires, and the debate actually wins him votes.

I would recommend this book to a boy or a girl. On a scale of 1-10, I would give this book an 8. It has a twist ending that will really shock you.

Judson Moon is a normal kid in Madison, Wisconsin. His friend Lane Brainard had just moved there. They were watching Lane’s favorite show "Meet The Press" at Lane’s house and then Lane asks Judson if he wants to become President. Judd says no at first and then agrees. He picks Lane as his campaign manager, and June Syers as his running mate. In the beginning he only gets 1% of the votes. Then he started getting more votes. As the campaign wears on, someone leaks out that Judson broke into a classmate’s locker in 4^th grade. Then he falls 10 % on the votes. He tells America he really did these things and he says he knows these things were wrong and that he is sorry. At the end he wins the electoral vote, and beats Senator Dunn and the President. Everyone is happy and parties. During the party he says he will quit the day after he became the President.

If you want to know what happened afterward, please see my next report on the book of The Kid Who Became President.
