Another book that stayed with me, and I still love today. It perfectly gets kids interested in the process and makes you fact check, but also laugh. Gonna have to grab the sequel now that I know it exists. ( )

Thanks to his friend Lane, Judson Mood decides to run for president. According to Lane he's the perfect candidate – charming, funny and too stupid to do anything wrong. With Lane as the brains and his favourite neighbour who hasn't voted for the last forty years, Judson Mood fights hard to gain attention in his run for the presidential role.

But as things get more serious, Judson quickly starts to doubt himself and their goal. Is he really fit to be president? Does he really want to be president? Is America dumb enough to vote for a kid president?

This was a funny little book. I'm quite aware of the fact that I'm not really in the target group for this story, but it was hard not to enjoy reading it anyway. Judson is definitely a charming, hilarious sixth-grader and you almost want him to win. But then you remember what the hell he is running for. But I liked the book mostly because of the ending. Nice one, Judd. ( )

2-year-old Judson Moon asks his dad for permission to run for president of the US. "Not until you mow the lawn", Dad responds.

Judson Moon is a funny boy who ran for president with his best friend Lane. He has everything to be a president. What about his age? And how will he get 2 million dollars? But Lane, the brain master, has everything under control. Judson and lane picked a vice president too. They make a lemonade party, and get people giving money to help the Moon & June team get started. But Judson is not the only guy who is running for president. There are two more guys who are running for president: The current President White and Mr. Dunn. Judson is getting tired of all this, and it is getting more and more serious. Because this whole thing started out as a prank, did it? ( )
