5.0

A young boy wanted to watch tv, and despite having done all of his chores, his father still says no. "It was this very moment, this precise instant, this exact time and place that Luke realized life was unfair."

This book had me cracking up the whole way through. President Pennybaker was going to make life fair for everyone! But he soon realizes that being president is a lot harder than he had realized, and he just wants to go back to being a normal kid.

I thought this one fell short of the reviews. A small boy runs for president on the platform promise that he will make things fair! This book has some clever moments but as one reviewer stated...it is funny the author made a big deal on the legal voting age - but not on the legal age to run for president. So life is not fair and the grass is not always greener. I prefer Duck For President as an election time read (or anytime for that matter)![b:Duck for President|96128|Duck for President (New York Times Best Illustrated Books (Awards))|Doreen Cronin|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171309664s/96128.jpg|2819058]
