The Kid Who Became President (2000) - Plot & Excerpts

i picked this book because it was the second book of the first book that i made a good read on a few weeks ago this book is a great book and the second book that im writing to you today was the better book than the first because it explained more details and it finished the story. The.The story took place in Wisconsin in the first book and now in the second book it took place in Washington D.C. and all over america because he is the president so he goes all kind of places for meeting and other reasoning.The conflict of the book is right in the middle because he starts to get stressed because he is only a kid and he was not prepared what was coming for him.At first it was just to be funny as a joke to everyone but than he it became into a night mare for Judson moon.i think the charterer did change because toward the end of the story he stared to be less stressed because he started to learn how to handle things and not get mad when things are getting hard so that's why i think he changed.one quote he said in the book was why is everything so hard as a grown up.the theme was probably just because your a kid does not mean you can make a difference and Judson moon stuck to that through the whole story.and yes i would recommend this book because the book is very understandable and it seemed like every chapter the book just keep on getting better and better because it was that good the author really did good in this book so who ever ends up reading this book will be very fascinated.

Opening statement from me: I am disappointed.I read the first book, The Kid Who Ran For President, and I loved it! It was fun, witty, clever, and laugh-out-loud hilarious! So when I found out there was a sequel, I was excited. Before I could check it out at my local library, I located it at a thrift store.And then I read it. And was very disappointed.Now, a 12-year-old kid running for President is somehow more believable than a 13-year-old President. If that wasn't enough, then the author threw in some hokey situations, such as this kid (his name is Judson Moon, by the way) playing a video game against his enemy-of-the-moment, Supreme Ruler Raul Trujillo, dictator of Cantania, to keep a war from happening between Cantania and Boraguay. All of this was okay, and maybe I would have given it 3 or even 4 stars if this was the only problem I had.Except it got a bit complicated when Lincoln's ghost showed up to give advice to President Moon.I probably should have stopped reading at that point, but I didn't. I wanted to see if this was just a stunt Lane Brainard pulled to get Moon through his decision about Cantania. But, as it turns out, this was supposed to be the real McCoy. And that just ruined it for me.I wish I could give more stars, but 2 is my limit in this situation.I still highly recommend the first book, though.

What do You think about The Kid Who Became President (2000)?

The Kid Who Became President is the hilarious sequel to The Kid Who Ran For President, telling the story of the kid who ran (kind of as a joke) and won! Judson Moon is just an ordinary kid but is put into the extraordinary situation at getting a shot to run the country. When he starts he realizes that it is certainly a lot more than he bargained for. But finds his groove as he challenges the leader of the country of Cantania to a battle of videogames rather than a battle with guns. Will Judson Moon be able to stop the war? Maybe even with the help of one Mr. Abraham Lincoln. Read this exceptional and out of the ordinary adventure with President Judson Moon to find out. Best for ages 8 and up.

The Kid Who Became President, the sequel of The Kid Who Ran for President, is about thirteen year old Judson Moon who after winning the presidential election decides to resign the same night. That is until the next day when he suddenly has a change of heart and is sworn in as President of the United States after all. During his presidency, Judson learns about the difficulty of leading a nation and obeying the rights written in the Constitution while maintaining popularity with the public people. A conflict arises when he is forced to make an executive decision to go to war against the Raul Trujillo, the dictator of the country Cantania, in order to protect the oil fields of an ally country, which would harm the down-spiraling economy of the United States. Despite the odds in his favor and increasing adversity, how will President Moon handle this arising national emergency, let alone his own presidency? Will he survive being the first child as the president of the United States of America?

The nuclear codes thing kind of seeps the fun of it. The fantasy of having a 12 year old President gets popped pretty early in the proceedings in this inevitable follow-up to The Kid Who Ran For President when our protagonist President Moon lose track of the nuclear codes. One imagines the kid hitting puberty with such power and it becomes clear why we elect only those of at least 35 years. Moon's adventures as POTUS are mildly amusing although often a downer as he faces loneliness and the overwhelming nature of the office. Gutman's implication that the president's job is largely ceremonial and that Moon skates by the first eight months posing for photographs seems a little insulting to the actual commander-in-chief who faces daily decisions with painful consequences for some constituency or another. However, the tales of dealing with the spend-happy First Lady and playing videogames against evil dictators plays well with young boys - its core audience. Parents having to read this to their kids might resent the treatment of Moon's parents in the story particularly a passage where Moon notes to his father that he could have him tossed into prison. In short, an innocuous fantasy that its core audience will enjoy reading.
