Story
In America, they say any kid might someday be elected President. Well, 13-year-old Justin Moon did get elected President. The only problem is that now he has to actually serve in the nation's highest office. Being the leader of the most powerful country in the world is not as much fun as it sounds. Sure, the White House is filled with great stuff like its own movie theater, bowling alley, and swimming pool.

So what could possibly go wrong? The PM is prepared for everything until he finds himself facing what he least expected - an actual opposition.

Fun book, for children of all ages!
If you could sum up The Kid Who Ran for President in three words, what would they be?
Although I was 55 when I read it, I enjoyed it very much. With a very depressing presidential election, it was nice to listen to a book that put a lighter touch on politics.
Who was your favorite character and why?
The main character because he reminds of me at his age. I ran for office when I was 18, which was when I could first legally vote. I totally understand the characters in this story!
Have you listened to any of Scott Shina’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Not that I know of.
