Some kids want to be President when they grow up. Twelve-year-old Judson Moon wants to be President right now! "Grown-ups have had a thousand years to mess up the world," Judson explains. "Now it's our turn." Soon, Judson and Lane Brainard, his best friend and campaign manager, realize that running for President is hard. You have to kiss a zillion babies, shake a zillion hands, and say a zillion "hellos."
